In August 1970, Maurice White signed the contract for Earth Wind & Fire, soon followed by the first single and the first album of the same name in 1971. The rest is history, the band became one of the most successful and influential ever with their mix of R&B. , soul, funk, jazz, disco, pop, rock, dance, Latin, Afro pop and their spectacular live performances has permanently changed black music.

Peach & Lee’s new double album ‘Not For Sale,’ is the sum and story of a decade of work by two lifelong, childhood best friends, Arlis Peach and Larry Lee, who, growing up together in Iowa, got bitten hard by the rock-n-roll bug of the 50’s and by the mid 60’s were writing and recording their own music.Peach and Lee’s ‘Not For Sale - 1965 to 1975’ is a genuine lost chapter in the history of pop music. Pure Pop with echoes of everything from THE EVERLY BROTHERS and THE BEATLES to THE BYRDS and BADFINGER, with hints of THE HOLLIES, THE TURTLES, THE ZOMBIES and THE KINKS to name a few. ‘Not For Sale’ by Peach and Lee is a one of a kind 58 year old anomaly that was slated to NEVER happen…; until now! 27 tracks of unreleased pop perfection, restored and mastered from the original tapes and available for the first time in this collection.
