What's better than a dope 45 with two heavy deep funk tracks?  How about a dope 45 with
THREE heavy deep funk tracks?  G.E.D. Soul is pleased to present our Economic Soul Stimulus
package with DeRobert and the Half-Truths returning to drop the sweet soul science on your
ears.  First on the bill is "Too Busy" a quick stepper with a strong horn section and "stop on a
dime" rhythm.  

Can't stand when some daft fool scuffs your sneaker? Hit em with a sucker punch.  DeRobert
raps about how some folks just might have it coming if they don't watch it with "Sucker Punch" a
great mid tempo groover.

Finally, hanging out on the B side all by its lonesome is "Cop Cars and Taxis" a slow and low in
the pocket, psyched out sound collage that features the Half-Truths letting loose and grooving for
days. Featuring our magnificent tenor player, Robert Long, playing some sexy just for you.

We know you're gonna dig it, baby.

We're pretty excited about this 7inch featuring our fellow
funk brothers. Sky Hi is a big funk band with a big funk
sound.  This whopping 9 man crew (
which happens to
share players with the Half-Truths
) drops their first plate
on G.E.D. Soul and the results are super smooth!

"Smoothie Pie" is on the plug side.  Don't let the
humorous title fool you, this sweetly styled number is a
groover all the way through culling only the best
elements of Motown inspired soul. The electric
piano/guitar call and response on this joint is the creme
de la creme.

On the flip is the hard and heavy "Get Yourself
Together".  An up-tempo banger featuring some
acrobatic horn arrangements as well as the
inspirational lyrical stylings of "Dee" DeRobert Adams.
