RELEASE DATE
4/7/2023
Reissue, originally released in 1970. Initially formed in southeast London in the mid-1960s as the
Coloured Raisins
, obscure black rock quartet
Black Velvet
infused their sound with soul and reggae undercurrents, a testament to the Caribbean origins of the group members, and the pervasive styles inspiring the black communities that inhabited London's marginal outskirts. Produced by
Don Lawson
for the Beacon label, which was launched by the Antiguan businessman and future politician
Milton Samuel
, Black Velvet's powerful debut is a snapshot in time of London's black underground that will appeal to anyone interested in the black British music scene of the early 1970s.
