The record


Title: Hot Chocolate - Cicero Park
Year/Genre/Sub-Genre/City: 1974, Soul, British Soul Funk, London, England 6/26
Matrix #: BT 89503
Condition: VG+ (LM) | Members: N/A
Cultural Facts:

  1. Personal Struggle: Errol Brown moved from Jamaica to Britain as a child, carrying immigrant reality into a band that often wrote about race, class, and outsider desire.

  2. Political Science: “Brother Louie” dealt with interracial romance and family rejection, giving Hot Chocolate a harder social edge than their smooth radio image suggests.

  3. Studio Lore: Cicero Park was the debut LP, issued through RAK in the UK and Big Tree in the U.S., with Mickie Most’s pop machinery framing a darker British soul band.

    This place is a little tucked away but easy to find. Though it’s not a big shop, it has a great selection of records at great prices! The guy who helped me out at the counter was friendly and really helpful! If I were in the area again, I would definitely go back.

    Power plant records is the best! Great selection of vinyl, the owner and staff are super cool and one of the best things about them are the local shows they put on at Stuft Pizza to support local punk bands like Repeater and Simulator (aka Current Location).
