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 of breaking through. Even though Barbara never became a big - time star, one song from this LP became a must - play in rare soul and funk DJ sets. In 2016, a sealed copy landed at Plaid Room Records in Loveland, OH, sparking a revival of her music. In 1968, Steven Reece, from the 'Operation Step - Up' community movement, aimed to create an independent label to self - produce quality records. He chose Barbara Howard and planned to make an LP with diverse tracks for various radio formats. The record didn't have long - term success, but Steve and Barbara got married, making it a romantic chapter in soul music history. 'I Don't Want Your Love' was the only unfeatured track on the LP, and we're thrilled to bring this deep funk hit back to the world!

If you're a fan of rare soul and funk music, simply play this track and let the deep funk vibes wash over you. There aren't any special usage instructions. Just find a comfortable spot, turn up the volume, and enjoy the music. When it comes to maintenance, if you have a physical copy like an LP, keep it in a cool, dry place. Avoid exposing it to direct sunlight or moisture. If you're listening digitally, make sure your device has enough storage and a stable connection for the best experience.
