Charles Bradley was an American funk/soul/R&B singer, known as "The Screaming Eagle of Soul". Born on November 5th, 1948 in Gainesville, Florida, he captivated audiences with his powerful and soulful voice. Sadly, Charles Bradley passed away on September 23rd, 2017 in Brooklyn, New York after battling stomach cancer. His music continues to inspire and touch the hearts of fans around the world.

Daptone is a label that specializes in hard funk, soul, and afrobeat music by current artists. It was formed by musicians and producers from the now defunct 1990s funk revival pioneer label Desco Records. The label is run by Gabriel Roth (also known as Bosco Mann) and Neal Sugarman. Daptone is home to renowned artists such as Sharon Jones, The Dap-Kings, Lee Fields, Sugarman 3, Antibalas, The Mighty Imperials, and others.

Most of Daptone's seven inch singles feature a generic blue record label. However, all singles are produced in limited quantities of 1000 - 2000 copies. In some cases where titles are highly sought after and sell out quickly, a second press run with a red colored label may be done.

Mikey Post oversees Direct Sales & Distribution at Daptone and explains that their releases have been continuously available since February 2019. While records released prior to 2009 did not include barcodes initially, they still use the original 'Mother' plates for pressing new copies today. There may be slight variations in the color of labels over the years due to printing on an offset machine with stock paper.

The Screaming Eagle of Soul has landed! In anticipation for the forthcoming full length 'Changes', it brings us great pleasure to ring in 2016 with 'Change for the World' b/w 'Revelation'. On this single, Charles, backed by Menahan Street Band, take the psychedelically seasoned soul flirted with on 2013's 'Victim of Love', and expands on it. Marrying heavy rhythm and tape delay with Charles' pleading vocal performance, it lurks in the ether, engaging your psyche in ways that will make you think there's more to this life than previously imagined. It's a Revelation!
