B/w Freddy Cole - Brother Where Are You; Everyone knows that there is a lot of injustice in the recording industry. There are many weak artists who achieve success where many other more talented artists fail. This release attempts to air two such talented artists who have not had the success that their talents deserve. The first is Fred Johnson, a supreme talent clinging on to the great sounds of vocal jazz at a time when many others sold out to popular fame. The second is Freddy Cole, ironically singing 'Brother Where Are You?' when the answer from his superstar brother Nat is 'On the gravy train, baby'. These two beauties are a tantalising suggestion of the artists that have been overlooked over the years, and we're glad to be able to showcase their talents to the discerning listener of today.
