Cadet Records 1969  LPS 834

notes:

The Soulful Strings – String Fever is a rare late-1960s instrumental 

soul and jazz album released on Cadet Records in 1969. Blending 

lush orchestral arrangements with funky rhythm sections, the group 

created a distinctive crossover sound that sits between soul, 

easy listening, and jazz-funk.

Often overlooked compared to their earlier hits, String Fever remains

 a sought-after LP among vinyl collectors and fans of cinematic soul grooves.
