The album features two takes of "I Can't Wait", the 45 cut and the equally soulful but alternative take which on first hearing gives you the impression that it's a duo before you realise its Bill singing both parts! An excellent version of Al Wilson's "Be Concerned" is also featured which Bill claims to have recorded in 1974 which means it predates Al's version by some two years? Two re-mixed tracks "Watcha Doin' With Your Time" and "Kick Back" which first appeared on Bill's highly acclaimed Henceforth album, are also featured have been re-worked to great effect. Also featured is the previously unissued full length studio cut of Bill's modern soul dance anthem "Love Is On The Way" coming in at almost five minutes long. more info http://www.souljunctionrecords.co.uk
