PEANUT BUTTER CONSPIRACY: SA SOUL

Original Released on LP CBS ASF 1627 

(SOUTH AFRICA, 1971)

Not to be confused with the American band of the same name from 1966, this South African white soul group dominated the SA airwaves in the early 70s with songs like "Amen", "Hold On To What You Got", "Part Of Someone" and "Understanding". Sung by the gravelly-voiced Brian Mulder, "Understanding" is a powerful and imploring soul classic with a not so-subtle message for his cheating girlfriend. It reached #2 on the Springbok Radio charts in March 1971.
