Complete your The Brand New Heavies collection. I decided to mark the 3 versions under this master as "Compilation", because "Original Flava" is not really an original album. The 10 songs were never intended to comprise an album by themselves. More appropriately, the track list consists of everything that wasn't used for the first proper album, "The Brand New Heavies". So, it is a on of leftover tracks - albeit some very good tracks. One version even states "compiled by Eddie Piller".

This is it: Brand New Heavies' Original Flava. The raw version of the Heavies. This relatively brief ten song album blends together songs recorded before their debut album Brand New Heavies;some are outtakes from that session,others are unreleased A and B side singles recorded in 1988 and one live track. Songs such as 'Rest Of Me","Reality","Mother's Tongue" and "Never Stop" all feature the swoony,new romantic style vocals of keyboardist and drummer Jan Kinkaid and have a very likeminded sound and production,with plenty of layors.

The Brand New Heavies' fusion of retro funk and energetic jazz propelled their eponymous 1991 debut to levels of artistic and commercial success that subsequently eluded them on solid follow-ups like Brother Sister. Unsurprisingly, when the choice was made to mine their early sessions for unreleased material, the resulting compilation became the group's most consistently enjoyable effort since The Brand New Heavies. Top 20 version of "Midnight at the Oasis," but the adherence to earlier tracks results in a cohesiveness not often experienced on collections of demos or outtakes.
