I Don't Want Your Love

Barbara Howard's On The Rise isn't just a rare soul LP; it's a beautiful love - story and a dream. It was an attempt to break into the music scene. Even though Barbara didn't become a star, one song became a must - play in rare soul and funk DJ sets, keeping her music relevant. In 2016, a sealed copy of the LP landed at Plaid Room Records in Loveland, OH, sparking a revival of her story. In 1968, Steven Reece, from the 'Operation Step - Up' community movement, founded an independent label to self - produce quality records and get major label distribution. He chose Barbara Howard and produced an LP with diverse tracks for different radio formats. The record didn't do well after release, but Steve and Barbara got married, making it a romantic chapter in soul music. 'I Don't Want Your Love' is the only non - LP track, and we're excited to bring this deep funk gem back to the world!

To enjoy this rare soul music, simply play it on your preferred music player. Whether it's a vinyl player for that classic feel or a digital device, it'll work great. As for storage, if you have a physical copy like the LP, keep it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent warping. There aren't any special playing conditions, just sit back and let the deep funk vibes of Barbara Howard's 'I Don't Want Your Love' take you away. If you're using a digital version, make sure your device has enough storage and a stable audio output. Have fun listening!
