Atlantic (1978)
I'm going to put up this Blues Brothers 7" a day earlier than usual as this will be my last review of the week. Tomorrow I'll be far too busy eating turkey to write another record review. This record is the last Soul Man picture sleeve 7" that I have left. There are a couple of other variants that I haven't tracked down yet, but we'll move on to other Blues Brothers 7"s in a couple of weeks.
This Japanese version is one of my favorites. Yeah, they are just reusing the Briefcase Full Of Blues artwork again, but the addition of the Japanese text really make the artwork pop I think. Especially with the white border that goes around it.
And interesting thing is that the artwork isn't a sleeve that you put the record in. It's a single piece of paper that sits in front of the record, no pocket. On the reverse is some basic info about the release plus the lyrics to "Soul Man," which I think is a pretty neat little bonus.
As usual, the B side is "Excusez Moi Mon Cherie." To the best of my knowledge, there are four Japanese Blues Brothers 7"s. I've tracked down three of them (reviews of the others will be coming over the next few weeks), but I do still need to find the Japanese "Gimme Some Lovin'" 7", so if you see it, let me know.
