The Electric Express "It's The Real Thing, Part 1 (Short Version)" (Linco 1001)mp3 via 45 blog
I'm dying to see a picture of these guys. Does no one have a photo? All I can tell you about this is that The Electric Express hailed from Greensboro, NC, and that Linco was a short-lived subsidiary of Cotillion Records, pressed and distributed by Atlantic. It was written by Joe Lewis Powell and Vic Hudson, and produced by Slack Johnson (no, I won't say it, but I can't stop you from thinking it). Johnson seems to have remained active in the Charlotte area, producing and arranging gospel music. I understand Part 2 had some socially-conscious lyrics, but my promo copy only has a longer edit of the instrumental on the B-side. Love the sax with the octave divider!
