The Majestic Arrows – The Magic Of The Majestic Arrows (Opaque Sky Blue Vinyl)

The rarest Chicago sweet soul LP, back in print for the first time in half a century. Arrow Brown's incomparable album "The Magic of The Majestic Arrows" was made in the basement of his Bronzeville harem/headquarters and was the result of years of work on the fringes of Chicago's famed Record Row.

Released on his own Bandit imprint, the LP is a string-laden fantasy that straddles the line between '50s doo-wop and 1970s studio excess. Backed by the Chosen Few and the Scott Brothers, arranged by Benjamin Wright, sung by Brown's 17-year-old daughter Tridia and Moroccan falsettist Larry Brown, and charted by Eugene Phillips of The Wind, the album is an outsider D. I.Y. soul genius waiting for the friction of a phono needle to reveal its immortal magic.
