Now Again Records

Now Again Records was launched in 2002 by Egon as a subsidiary of Stones Throw Records. With a rich catalogue of 60s & 70s soul & funk, as well as some essential new projects, the label has become a go-to destination for music lovers. In 2012, Now Again Records became independent and secured distribution from various partners including Traffic Entertainment Group.

The label's founder, Egon, has always had an ear for exceptional music. His passion for digging deep into the crates and unearthing hidden gems is evident in the carefully curated releases on Now Again Records. From rare soul and funk classics to groundbreaking contemporary projects, the label consistently delivers quality music that resonates with listeners.

With its dedication to preserving and celebrating the legacy of soul and funk music from the past while also pushing boundaries with innovative new sounds, Now Again Records has earned a reputation as a trusted source for both collectors and casual fans alike. Whether you're seeking timeless classics or exciting new discoveries, this label is sure to have something that will captivate your ears.

Would Like To Pose A Question is one of the first previously-unreleased funk and soul albums issued by Now-Again, and it still sounds amazing today. Well, it would have to: it's the brainchild of bandleader/drummer/singer/songwriter Lester Abrams (the L.A. in L.A. Carnival).

Abrams helped create hit singles like "Minute by Minute" and “What A Fool Believes” for the Doobie Brothers and played with artists such as B.B. King, Stevie Wonder, Peabo Bryson, Manfred Mann, Quincy Jones and many more. Before all that - in early 70s while still in Omaha - he brought a multi-racial band into the Pacific Avenue studio to cut an album's worth of material. 

Only one single - "Color" b/w "Blink Man" - was ever issued, and this album sat on master tapes in Abrams' closet. That is until Now-Again’s Eothen Alapatt intervened in the early 2000s and Would You Like To Pose A Question was at last given a proper full length release.
