Norma Jean & Ray J - Raising Hell 1974

Norma Jean & Ray J’s “Raising Hell” is one helluva rare nugget. Released on the Hep-Me label in 1974, this has a remarkably polished sound and sophistication in the music to have warranted bigger names on the front of the album cover. And while Norma Jean and Ray J would never topple the likes of Marvin Gaye and Tammi Terrell, they have crude chemistry that has magic all of its very own. A wonderful wonderful left-fielder that I urge you to give a few plays for it to reel you in and in love. The excellent Superfly Records reissue 'Raising Hell' by Norma Jean & Ray J for the first time on vinyl. Thanks to "funkmysoul.gr".

Hey Carlos, I've been on a big Som Imaginario/Milton Nascimento groove lately. Any chance you could post the related Sa, Rodrix & Guarabira Passado, Presente E Futuro (1971) and Terra (1973) records? They were both compiled on a reissue titled "Sa, Rodrix & Guarabira" (EMI, 2003). Never heard these and I think they might be missing pieces to the sonic puzzle. Obrigado!
