The Winstons’ ‘Amen, Brother’ is the most sampled drum break in the history of music (over 5000+ according to whosampled.com) and has shaped the history of electronic music ever since its creation in 1969.

This is the official release of the Winston’s <i>Color Him Father</i> album, out of print for fifty years on vinyl, a glorious break-heavy album of soul, funk and gospel featuring the single ‘Color Him Father’, ‘Amen, Brother’ and loads more! The fully remastered album is housed in exact-reproduction original sleeve and design and comes with 4 extra bonus tracks that the group released only as singles. 

2LP - There is also a very special one-off first pressing only of this album that comes with an exclusive one-sided 12” of ‘Amen, Brother’ featuring a specially extended break mix of the classic tune.
