The Numero Group, the reissue label known for cataloguing rare soul, R&B, funk, power pop, and more, will next tackle the late-1970s music scene of the Twin Cities. This is the music that gave rise to Prince and his contemporaries.
Numero will begin with the 1978 self-titled album from the Lewis Connection, a jazz and funk project from brothers Andre and Pierre Lewis. That's out on February 12. (Yes, it says "Conection" on the cover. The Lewis Brothers accidentally misspelled it.) It has been rumored that Prince himself plays on this album, though that is unconfirmed.
The Lewis Connection:
01 Get Up
02 Higher
03 Feel Good to Ya
04 Got to Be Something Here
05 Dynamic Duo
06 Mr. G
