Part Of: Super Star Catalog: MA 010 Release Date: Buy Link: Miles Away Records SoundCloud | Bandcamp | Release Text: Up next on Miles Away Records is the cosmic soul gem ‘Super Star’ by Ruth Waters & the State of Mind Show Band. A Texas native, Ruth Silky’ Waters was best known for her two disco-infused albums Never Gonna Be The Same and Out In The Open produced by the late, great John Davis (John Davis Orchestra). It was however some of Ruth’s early material that caught Miles Aways’ interest when they started the label as far back as 2018. ‘Super Star, released on the tiny independent KMBA Recordings in the late 1970s, draws from the wells of modern soul and gospel with a touch of cosmic synthy goodness. A proper ear turner, it was like nothing the label had heard before. On the flip ‘Super Star Pt.2’ goes deeper into the cosmic essence of the track with extended guitar and synth solos making this a cracking little 45. A long-time in the making, as it’s been on the list to release since the start of the label. For many years label head Dom Williams, has been trying to track down Ruth. With countless emails dead ends and unanswered phone calls they felt like they’d properly hit a wall. But Dom kept plugging away and eventually, one late summers night last year, one of Ruth’s son responded. Fast forward to 2023 and the track has been lovingly remastered by Phil Kinrade at the legendary AIR Studios and the lacquer was cut deep by Jukka at Timmion Records. It’s now presented on 7” vinyl with Miles Away custom teal green label and house bag. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Berlin House Music Submit Your Music | Store | Instagram | YouTube | Facebook | SoundCloud |
