Brothers Johnson

The Japanese pressing of “Winners” by The Brothers Johnson (catalog number AMP-28035) is a true collector’s item for fans of refined funk and soul. Released in 1981 on A&M Records, this album marks the duo’s return — George and Louis Johnson, protégés of Quincy Jones — with a more contemporary sound infused with pop and disco-funk elements.

As with most Japanese editions of the era, this pressing stands out for its exceptional sound quality and attention to presentation, featuring vibrant artwork, the original obi strip, and an insert with lyrics and credits in both English and Japanese.
