2022 re-press, 180g vinyl. Mastered for vinyl by our esteemed engineer Simon Francis. It has been pressed on 180g vinyl for the first time and features the original, rarely seen artwork. Mr Thing: "I've pretty much given up trying to find Season For Love. I'm glad you're doing these." A monumental force firmly rooted in the soul canon, Willie Hutch is most notable for recording two of the best Blaxploitation soundtracks, The Mack and Foxy Brown. Yet his legacy is much greater. Outside of Marvin Gaye, Stevie Wonder and Smokey Robinson, Hutch was arguably Motown's top male solo artist of the 70s. Prior to his association with Gordy et al, Hutch crafted his opening statements for RCA, two vital LPs that Be With Records is honoured to present today.

A must listen for fans of soul and romance. Willie Hutch’s smooth 1970 album Season For Love is being reissued at the perfect time ahead of Valentine’s Day (as long as you include a disclosure note that you don’t subscribe to the outdated lyrics in ‘Trying to Understand a Woman’). FFO: Curtis Mayfield, Marvin Gaye, Isaac Hayes, Donny Hathaway.
