Detroit's Barrino Brothers entered Dave Hamilton's TCB studio in 1969 and cut a single that slipped quietly into local obscurity, only to be canonised decades later by deep-funk devotees. As Hamilton's catalogue was exhumed in the 90s, 'Just A Mistake' revealed itself as a minor grail, its scarcity fuelling collector mythology. The track itself coils with tensile elegance: a prowling bassline underpins clipped drum accents while the brothers' vocal harmonies rise in fervent and ecclesiastical unison. On the flip, 'I'll Take My Flowers Right Now' tempers that urgency with satin-sheathed phrasing and a rhythm section that glides in restrained, late-60s Detroit poise. A small, incandescent fragment of Motor City soul history.
