DOUG HREAM BLUNT ~ GENTLE PERSUASION ~ NO LABEL OT-100. THIS PRIVATE PRESSING EP OUT OF SAN FRANCISCO IS SOURCED FROM THE MAN HIMSELF, IS BRAND NEW AND UN-PLAYED. THERE ARE LIGHT PAPER SCUFFS TO THE VINYL FROM THE HAND DONE ELEMENT OF A PRIVATE PRESSING AND IT WAS NEVER SEALED (DISTRIBUTORS AND SOME RECORD STORES DO THAT WITH SEALED COPIES YOU MAY RUN ACROSS). THIS WAS PRESSED/RELEASED IN THE EARLY 2000's? MR. BLUNT IS QUITE ABOUT THE EXACT DATE(S) OF THIS PRESSING. LISTED AS SOUL/R&B IS LIMITING AND AN INJUSTICE TO THIS AMAZING RECORDING AND SIMPLY THE EASIEST MARKETING OF IT. READ THE ON LINE REVIEWS AND OWN A COPY FROM THE MAN HIMSELF!

MR. BLUNT IS NOW HAND SIGNING/AUTOGRAPHING THESE COPIES WITH BOLD SHARPIES!

LUAKA BOP HAS RELEASED A RSD LIMITED EDITION REMIX 12" OF THE TITLE SONG!!!!! FROM THE VINYL FACTORY WEBSITE: "How are Luaka Bop – the reissue label set up by David Byrne – to follow the out-of-the-park successes of their Nigerian William Onyeabor releases? They have picked up Doug Hream Blunt. Blunt is/was a stateside mystery-man, whose purportedly private press works (soft, assuredly late-’70s / early-’80s electro and boogie) were released again in the 2000's with an aura of suspicion and speculation. It’s lead track, ‘Gentle Persuasion’, is a romantic joint about someone’s butt. Now, with remixes from Psychemagik and Dean Blunt (whose stuff is almost too close to the original), Luaka Bop delve into a new chapter for the musician."
