This split 45 is a testament to the electric pulse of late-60s and early-70s Midwest funk and soul. The Fabulous Souls’ “Take Me” brims with urgent brass, nimble basslines, and that unmistakable drive that defined a generation of crate-diggers’ favorites. Flip to Ebony Rhythm Band’s “The Thought Of Losing Your Love,” and you’re immersed in a deeply emotive yet groove-heavy instrumental, a window into the restless experimentation of Indianapolis' underground scene. These tracks are more than just dancefloor heat—they’re cultural artifacts from a time when regional bands blurred the lines between jazz, soul, and early funk, laying the groundwork for later musical revolutions. Whether you’re a seasoned collector or discovering these sounds anew, this release is a vivid reminder of how innovation often flourishes far from the mainstream. The musicianship is raw yet sophisticated, the production rich in analog warmth. For anyone seeking to expand their collection with music that pulses with authenticity and historical weight, this 45 delivers both a sonic rush and a tangible link to an era of fearless creativity.
