Until last year there had only been a handful of
known copies of this incredible early-80’s glorious
mid-tempo 45 and copies were changing hands
for between £1000 to £2000. Luckily they were
all owned by such prestigious DJ’s such as Soul
Sam, Butch and Keb Darge, DJ’s that had the
power to break tracks such as these on the
knowledgable Soulful dancefloors of the UK.
The owners of Lotus Land records in the US
(Andy and Tom Noble) managed to track down
Halo and last year, at last, everyone had an
opportunity of owning this record on their label.
Greg Coleman, Karvin Johnson and James King
Jr. are three true ‘gentlemen’ of the industry. Shortly
they will releasing 6 previously unissued tracks
that should have been on their debut album – entitled
‘Halo – Now And Then’ and they will be back in the studio soon to record songs that they wrote at that time for the project 30 years ago.
We’ll keep you updated on the progress but meanwhile please read, for the first time, the history of HALO.
