Home Schooled: The ABCs of Kid Soul

You know Michael, Jermaine, Tito, Marlon and Jackie, but what about Altyrone Deno Brown, Michael Washington, or Little Murray & The Mantics? Home Schooled, the 16th record in Numero's library of the lost, looks at the unknown side of the early '70s kid soul revolution. Beyond the Osmonds, The Five Stairsteps, and the Brighter Side of Darkness lay hundreds of aspiring children (or parents) bent on becoming the next Michael. Numero has selected 16 of our favorites. A detailed and photo-stuffed booklet breaks down the history of the phenomena, while the disc straddles the line between historical artifact and wild mix tape.
