Description:
“Regrets,” released on Polydor in 1973, shows Brown in reflective mood—a lush, orchestrated soul ballad co-produced with Fred Wesley. Strings, horns, and Brown’s impassioned vocal performance give the song a cinematic sweep uncommon in his funk-first catalog.
Sampling Legacy: While less looped than his funk staples, snippets of “Regrets” appear in RZA’s production for Ghostface Killah’s “Wildflower,” lending emotional grit to a new-soul context. Its moody orchestration also inspired several neo-soul interpolations in the 2000s.
Each record is meticulously cleaned and stored separately in a brand new polyligned inner sleeve, paired with its cover in a protective outer sleeve. All orders are shipped in designated heavy-duty vinyl shipping cartons, sealed with premium quality PVC tape and clearly marked as Fragile Vinyl Records to ensure safe passage to your door.
