    Leon Ware's self-titled 1982 album has long been a holy grail for rare groove record collectors with mint copies rarely found for less than £100. So Be With Records, a new vinyl-only reissue label, is pleased to mark its first release with Ware's classic – a set that features the timeless Why I Came To California, a beautiful example of early 80s soul funk. Absolute classic!
