The ever on-point Licorice Soul label leave no stone unturned when it comes to re-energising forgotten classics. This time, it’s the turn of Stephan Sulke, a German musician who released an album as Proud Mary, which sadly disappeared without trace. Thirty years later, and this 45 should give Sulke the dues it should have received at the time. “Follow Me” is a flute led, slightly mellow song with unusual vocals that really builds. “Steal Me” follows a more traditional Euro-funk stomper. Micro pressing as ever from this great label, so don’t hang around.
