Epsilon Record Co is pleased to introduce its latest release ICE CREAM.
The two previously unissued tracks from 1978, recorded in Los Angeles, California, re-mastered by Steve Fuji.
Steve Fuji and I have collaborated on several projects including Paris Ford, The Kopestetics, Real Side, Taxie, Kenyatta, Henderson & Jones, Natural Impulse, Ray Williams & Prime Cut. He is a valued member of Epsilon Record Co and we are grateful for his assistance and expertise.
Several years ago Steve informed me that he had a master tape from a recording session he conducted in 1978 (he believes it was at Mystic Studio) from one of the original members and co-founders of Taxie, Charles Erwin Williams II, also known as ‘Ice Cream’.
The tape was in good condition and the original version of With Love You’ll Find A Peace Of Mind was 7 minutes 38 seconds. I asked Steve if it was possible to shorten it to approximately 3 minutes.
A few days later I received several versions re-mastered and re-mixed by him and we both agreed they sounded excellent.
We hope you will enjoy this as much as we do. It is a fantastic piece of unheard Californian soul music available exclusively on Epsilon Record Co.
The B side Seaside Vibe is a killer funky instrumental with an amazing production.
