"Split Decision Band" on LP by Split Decision Band is a deep-dive reissue that captures a lost chapter of American soul and funk history. Pressed by specialist label NOW AGAIN, this album brings together the group's ultra-rare single cuts and related session material, showcasing taut grooves, heavy basslines, crisp drumming and horn arrangements that move seamlessly between raw funk, modern soul and early disco influences. The LP format underscores the warmth and punch of the original analog recordings, giving DJs, collectors and connoisseurs the chance to experience these tracks as they were meant to be heard: loud, immersive and dance-floor ready. Lyrically, the songs move from heartfelt love themes to street-level realism, performed with a powerful lead vocal presence and tight group interplay that reflects the band's roots in the 1970s independent funk scene. The Split Decision Band, long a cult name among rare-groove and deep-funk enthusiasts, built its reputation on a handful of extremely scarce 7-inch singles that circulated mainly in DJ and collector circles. Over the years, these sides became coveted spins at soul nights and were sampled and championed by crate-digging producers and DJs around the globe, cementing the band's standing as a hidden gem of the era. This LP finally presents their work in a coherent, carefully mastered sequence, allowing their songwriting, musicianship and rhythmic intensity to take center stage and to reach a wider audience than ever before. NOW AGAIN, the label behind this edition, is renowned for its archival work in funk, soul, jazz and global grooves. Closely associated with high-quality reissues and deep, well-researched compilations, the label specializes in tracking down original masters, documenting local scenes and presenting them with audiophile mastering, detailed packaging and historically informed curation. With releases that have become reference points for collectors and contemporary producers alike, NOW AGAIN has helped bring countless overlooked artists back into the spotlight and preserved key chapters of modern music history. This LP continues that tradition, offering both an essential document for rare-funk historians and an immediately engaging listen for anyone drawn to gritty, soulful and groove-driven music.
