Description
THE PHARAOHS "Love & Happiness/Freedom Road" original SCARAB label 45 VG++
This is an original pressing released on Scarab Records 003. The vinyl is in glossy VG++ condition with very few super light sleeve scuffs, the record plays very nice with only slight minor noise at worst. Clean labels have small portions of I assume another records label. This paper is on top of the Scarab label and should be easy to remove. The labels are both the same orange color and they look a bit washed out in the pictures. A great copy for your collection! Please check my auctions for other rock, punk, psych, garage, funk, surf and pop records. Good luck and thanks for looking!
The Pharaohs, a soul/jazz/funk group, were formed in 1962 out of a student band, The Jazzmen, at Crane Junior College in Chicago. This early incarnation comprised Louis Satterfield on trombone, Charles Handy on trumpet, and Don Myrick on alto saxophone. They were joined by Fred Humphrey on piano, Ernest McCarthy on bass guitar and Maurice White on drums. Satterfield, White, and Handy were studio musicians at Chess Records in Chicago. On the South Side of Chicago the Affro Arts Theater offered concerts, as well as classes in music and dance. As the name suggests the theater represented the strong African-American nature of the area and the times. It was here that the Jazzmen merged with the Artistic Heritage Ensemble to form The Pharaohs. In 1971 the band recorded The Awakening, and in 1972 In the Basement. With cuts like The Pharaohs Love Ya'll and In the Basement these albums established The Pharaohs as a force, if only on the cult level, for several years. Many of the Afro-Sheen commercials from this period featured music of the Pharaohs. By the early seventies, Maurice White had had some success with the Ramsey Lewis Trio and recorded a demo with several Chicago musicians. After signing with Warner Brothers he assembled the band which was to become Earth, Wind & Fire.
