Previously unreleased, this 1972 pair of Calvin Harris' masterfully crafted Earl Wiley-produced sweet soul demos might've stayed totally unknown, if it weren't for Ed Cody's devious forethought.

An engineer at Chicago's Stereosonic facility, Cody duped himself a submaster reference copy of the complete session.

In '73, Wiley heard "Love Won't Pay The Bills" on 45_credited to a group called Elevation_and instantly recognized the Cody-engineered track as his own.

Nearly 40 years later, through Numero Group research into Stereosonic, Cody, and Wiley, a cache of Cody masters presented themselves for new evaluation.

The alternately buoyant and sobering odes to domesticity reproduced here finally grant honey-voiced Harris and the talented Wiley their long-deserved due.
