Originally self-released in 1975 after labels passed on the material, it was recorded in Cleveland and built from pure DIY commitment, with Orr and Harris pressing ahead on their own terms. That backstory matters because you can hear it in the music: a warmly human blend of modern soul, gospel, early disco, jazz-funk and spiritual jazz, all held together by a message of uplift rather than polish-for-polish's-sake.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMichael Orr's songwriting and rich baritone sit at the centre, while Carey Harris helps anchor the album's fluid groove. The title track remains the key statement, but the record goes deeper than one cult favourite. Bernardine Mitchell's performance on \u003cem\u003eFeelings\u003c\/em\u003e gives the song real emotional weight, and \u003cem\u003eHere I Go (Through These Changes Again)\u003c\/em\u003e became notable enough to be covered later by Johnnie Taylor. Elsewhere, flute and vibraphone details, plus touches of spacey soul and spiritual jazz, give the album a distinctive character that separates it from more straightforward mid-70s R\u0026amp;B.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat makes \u003cem\u003eSpread Love\u003c\/em\u003e especially satisfying is how fully realised it sounds despite its original obscurity. This isn't just a curiosity rescued from the crates: it's a thoughtful, musically ambitious record with roots in church, community and independent Black music-making of the era. For anyone drawn to rediscoveries that connect soulful songwriting with jazz-minded arrangements, this is an easy one to recommend.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlack Vinyl, 50th Anniversary Edition\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRemastered from the restored original tapes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTip-on sleeve\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGatefold LP jacket\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n    \n\n    \n  \u003c\/li\u003e\n\n  \u003c!-- Release tab content --\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n    \u003cdiv\u003e\n        \n        \n        \n          \n          \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFormat: \u003c\/strong\u003e LP\u003c\/div\u003e\n          \n        \n        \n        \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUnits: \u003c\/strong\u003e 1\u003c\/div\u003e\n        \n        \n        \n        \n        \n        \n        \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGenre: \u003c\/strong\u003e\n          \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/funk-soul-music-vinyl-records\"\u003eSoul \u0026amp; Funk\u003c\/a\u003e\n        \u003c\/div\u003e\n        \n        \n        \n    \u003c\/div\u003e\n  \u003c\/li\u003e\n\n  \u003c!-- Tracklist tab content --\u003e\n  \n  \u003cli\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003e1.1 Ecstasy, Fantasy ; Dreamland\u003cbr\u003e1.2 Let Me Be with You Awhile\u003cbr\u003e1.3 Here I Go (Through These Changes Again)\u003cbr\u003e1.4 Feelings\u003cbr\u003e1.5 A Piece of Mine\u003cbr\u003e1.6 Spread Love\u003cbr\u003e1.7 Keep My Fire Burning\u003cbr\u003e1.8 You Opened My Eyes to the World\u003cbr\u003e1.9 Afterwhile\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003c\/li\u003e\n  \n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n","brand":"Dutch Vinyl","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51050399629377,"sku":"3633125","price":55.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1474\/5258\/files\/218118-carey-harris-michael-orr-spread-love-50th-anniversary-remastered.jpg?v=1794638113","url":"https:\/\/www.dutchvinyl.com.au\/products\/carey-harris-michael-orr-spread-love-395229","provider":"Dutch Vinyl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
