New Vinyl Record – Home Boy And The C.O.L. – Home Boy And The C.O.L.

Cecil Johnson Lyde Holden aka Home Boy (born 1948) is an artist whose musical talent has been unmistakable since his days as a young boy. Growing up listening to his parents 78 RPM Doo-wop, Blues, Jazz and Gospel records, he started signing in church when he was 6 years old. At the age of 10, his mother took him to the famous Club DeLisa (Chicagos celebrated night spot) and entered him in a talent contest where he won first price singing Only You by The Platters. This key-event had sparked a burning desire and a love for music in Cecil that would never leave himit created an opportunity for him to become an entertainer and recording artist. Tidal Waves Music now proudly presents the FIRST ever vinyl reissue of Home Boy And The C.O.L. originally released and privately pressed on Alwest Records in 1982. This rare record (original copies tend to go for LARGE amounts on the secondary market) now comes as a deluxe 180g vinyl edition, strictly limited to 1500 copies worldwide with obi strip and features the original artwork. Released exclusively for Record Store Day 2022 and available in participating stores on April 23, 2022.
