A real killer from Marvin Holmes and his hip Oaktown combo Justice – a group who effortlessly blend together jazz, soul, and funk into a wonderfully soaring style – yet one that's also more than heavy enough to live up to the message-oriented lyrics of the tracks! 


The album's one of those rare soul sides that really blows away most of 
the mainstream from the time – a wonderfully heady album that could only have been cut in the underground – where folks like Marvin were keeping things real, and pushing a social agenda that was way stronger than anything you'd find in the charts! Horns are great, as are the rhythms – and the vocals blend together perfectly on cuts that include "Motherless Child".

Recorded at San Francisco

Fantastic!--

"You Better Keep Her" [Track 1] is an alternate version from the 45rpm released single, A Big play on the Northern/Modern Soul scene in the UK.

Cheers Chris.
