Underground disco 45, “Magic Mandrake” from the Sarr Band, released on the Calendar label in the UK as both a 7″ & 12″ single with Double Action as a Double A side and also on the Canadian Unidisc record label.
Big with the Love Unlimited & many DJ’s in the UK & US (it was re-edited by Rahaan for his jisco records release) & has featured on many a mix from the States. With a distinctly European sound the vocal is nice & sleazy & has the killer line “Turn this dirty city into a rosepetal garden.”
This acts as a nice little taster for the next installment of our series of mixes courtesy of the Chuck Brothers that will be added to the love unlimited mixes archive soon.
By way of dedication & thanks to the wonderful music that Al Wilson provided over the years, here is ‘La La Peace Song’ produced by Johnny Bristol & released in 1974, the sentiment of the song still rings very true today.
All at the Love Unlimited raise a glass of cheer & shed a tear - RIP Al Wilson

Soul Sister Minnie Ripperton was born in Chicago in 1947. Best remembered for her rare five and a half octave vocal range, and her 1975 hit single “Lovin’ You”. Minnie sadly passed away in 1979 at the young age of 31, she gave a lot to soul music during her short career.
Her early work included providing backing vocals for the likes of Stevie Wonder & Etta James, & a stint with the rock-folk-funk-soul group The Rotary Connection (1967 - 70).
By 1973 Minnie had semi-retired to start a family, however demos discovered by a college intern ultimately led to her re-locating to Los Angeles & resuming her musical career by signing to Epic Records. The album Perfect Angel was released in 1974 and it turned out to be one of Minnie Riperton’s best sellers. It included the massive “LoVin You” and the rocking soul anthem “Reasons”
