Fletcher Darrow - My Young Misery (LP)
€27,50Quick ViewKent have released two Darrow Fletcher CDs, but he has never had a vinyl LP of his own – of any description. This compilation concentrates on his Chicago years, though it adds a rare demo, Hope For Love, only previously available on a Masterpieces Kent CD. Kent have also included his one-off late-70s version of fellow Chicago-born writers Grey & Hanks No Limit, also originally a Masterpieces track and a now-deleted Kent Select 45; these fetch £100+ on some sales lists. The mid-60s sides speak for themselves. He began his career with the acclaimed soul blast of The Pain Gets A Little Deeper (an Elton John favourite of the time!) and followed up with dancefloor classics My Young Misery, What Good Am I Without You, Infatuation and Gotta Draw The Line. As was common in those days, the hip dance sides were coupled with tender ballads such as Sitting There That Night, Little Girl and My Judgement Day. Those were particularly well received in his Chicago homebase and have been admired by slow-groove scenes like Lowriders in Los Angeles ever since. Darrow s late 60s recordings, though recorded in Chicago, were issued on Los Angeles labels controlled by Universal. By 1971 his producer – stepfather Johnnie Haygood – had reverted to using his own Chicago imprint Genna for the last recording. Compiled by Ady Croasdell.

Cochran Wayne - Same (180 gram, Gatefold) (LP)
€22,00Quick ViewSigned by Chess, Cochran and the Riders released their first LP in 1967. Produced by Abner Spector with sessions at Miami’s Criteria Studios and Muscle Shoals’ Fame Studios, the cleverly-titled ”Wayne Cochran” offered up a mix of popular R&B and soul songs which apparently served as a reflection of the group’s live act. To be honest, if you were looking for something original and ground breaking, this wasn’t the place to start. While Cochran’s performances were quite energetic (having one of the era’s tightest backing bands certainly didn’t hurt), none of the twelve arrangements strayed far from the originals. I’m guessing that most of the things that supposedly made these guys such a killer live act simply couldn’t be replicated on vinyl – not to imply that the collection was bad. It wasn’t. Individually most of the songs were quite good, but it you were familiar with the originals, stripped of Cochran’s in-concert craziness, they simply couldn’t compete.

Little Beaver - Party Down (Gold, Ltd) (LP)
€35,00Quick ViewMetallic Gold Vinyl
Coloured Vinyl, Limited Edition
Willie Hale a.k.a. Little Beaver (so dubbed as a child because of his prominent front teeth) was one of the extraordinarily talented musicians Henry Stone assembled at his Hialeah, FL-based T.K. Records label and its assorted imprints. Among the artists who recorded for Stone were K.C. & the Sunshine Band, Timmy Thomas, Gwen McCrae, Betty Wright, and Benny Latimore…and backing them on a lot of those records was Hale, laying down mellow ‘n’ funky, jazz-influenced licks on his hollow-body Gibson. Hale’s talent was so distinctive that when Stone finally let Hale step out of the studio shadows to record his own album on the Cat imprint, the effects were immediate and long-lasting. Featuring contributions from Thomas, Wright, Latimore, and Jaco Pastorius (under the name Nelson “Jocko” Padron), 1974’s Party Down scored a #2 hit with its title track and has been repeatedly sampled by latter-day rap artists ranging from People Under the Stairs to Jay Z. himself (the “Party Life” track on his American Gangster album).
Our Real Gone reissue of this nonstop groove-athon features a fresh remastering by Mike Milchner at SonicVision, and comes in a metallic gold vinyl pressing to honor the gold record Little Beaver has hanging on his wall on the front cover…limited to 1000 copies!.

King Ben E. - What Is Soul? (LP)
€23,00Quick ViewBen E King’s album What Is Soul? was the product of two years’ work.

Simone Nina - Emergency Ward (180 gram, Limited, Coloured) (LP)
€23,00Quick ViewEmergency Ward! (1972) is Nina Simone’s statement on the Vietnam War, and by dealing with matters more spiritual than political, this album aptly reflect the events of the day. The entire first side consists of a 18-minute medley of George Harrison’s ”My Sweet Lord” and a poem by David Nelson called ”Today Is a Killer,” set to music by Simone. This is a very strong, gospel-like performance, sometimes resembling the Capitols’ ”Cool Jerk” with a call-and-response vocal arrangement – one of Simone’s finest moments. It was performed together with the Bethany Baptist Church Junior Choir of South Jamaica, New York. Side two consists of the Lennie Bleecherâ’s Jeremy Wind song ”Poppies” and George Harrison’s ”Isn’t It A Pity”. Tracks 1 and 3 were recorded november 18, 1971 at Fort Dix, and track 2 is recorded at the RCA Studio in New York City.
Emergency Ward! Is available as a limited edition of 1000 individually numbered copies transparent red vinyl.

Various - Jack Ashford’s Just Productions (LP)
€29,00Quick ViewDESCRIPTION:
Famed as one of the tight-knit group of musicians the Funk Brothers, who played on the vast majority of Motown’s 60s records, Jack Ashford was the percussionist and vibes player who augmented that infectious beat so successfully. After his time at Motown he co-founded Pied Piper Productions with Shelley Haims and when that folded in 1967 started his own Just Productions. The infectious beat continued to propel many of their releases but the main songwriters – Jack, Lorraine Chandler and George Rountree – added great new melodies and well-crafted songs and then a big injection of Motor City funk. They unearthed talented singers like Eddie Parker, Sandra Richardson and the Smith Brothers and even employed Jack’s own voice. Parker’s ’I’m Gone’ and ’Love You Baby’ are considered the epitome of ampheta-soul by UK devotees, who have adored the records since the early 70s. The Smith Brothers’ output is all high class and their full take of ’Things Won’t Be The Same’ (which shares the backing track of Sandra Richardson’s ’After You Give Your All’) is available for the first time. Similarly the new version of Jack Ashford’s recording ’I’ll Fly To Your Open Arms’, by the Family Brick, debuts here; it is a masterful slice of sophisticated, uptempo Detroit soul. Then a new singer in the city, Billy Sha-Rae’s ’The Story Of My Life’ sees it’s first vinyl outing and the mysterious Ray Gant & Arabian Knights’ reading of ’Don’t Leave Me Baby’ is considered the ultimate rendition of this superb song. Al Gardner knew Jack at Sport/Boss Records and his ’Sweet Baby’ has been a big collector’s item for decades. Also, from the late 60s comes a terrific uptempo version of ’I Need Your Love (To Satisfy My Soul)’, originally only known as an acetate by the Stylists; it was later cut at a slower pace by Lee Rogers on Premium Stuff. The LP is rounded off by Jack’s own take on ’Let Me Take Care Of Your Heart’, a remarkably fine recording that the Smith Brothers would later cover on a Shield 45.

Various - Keeping The Faith 2 – 28 Modern Classics (2LP) (LP)
€30,00Quick ViewThis second volume of Keeping The Faith continues where volume one left off. As we have discovered, the Northern Soul scene was originally fuelled by the sound of 1960’s American Soul.
The tracks on Keeping The Faith 2 concentrate on the period from the late sixties to the late seventies when the shift between traditional and modern soul was taking place. These tracks were released later than that classic mid1960s era from which the blueprint for the Northern Soul sound was first taken, but they emerged before disco introduced too much technology into the mix and the music removed itself completely from the influences of Motown, Stax and Atlantic soul. If you had to track down all the records on this compilation it would cost you hours and hours of endless crate digging, and serious amounts of cash to collect the tunes that we bring you here.
Keep The Faith!Keeping The Faith 2
/ 21 Modern Soul Classics is available as a limited edition of 750 individually numbered copies on solid turquoise vinyl. The package includes an insert.

Wilson Jackie - Do Your Thing (LP)

Franklin Aretha - Electrifying + 2 bonus (180 gram) (LP)
€20,00Quick View180 gm vinyl LP pressing including two bonus tracks, deluxe inner sleeve and digital download. This quintessential edition includes Aretha’s second LP, THE ELECTRIFYING Aretha Franklin, long unavailable on vinyl. The album indeed electrified audiences when it was released by Columbia in 1962, winning Aretha top honors in Down Beat magazine’s prestigious listeners’ poll. One can easily hear her divinely inspired soul fire, emerging interpretative grace and vocal sophistication. Aretha’s singing reveals a sweet, even coy insouciance on songs like ”Blue Holiday” and alternatively, a roof-raising belt on ”Rough Lover”. It is easy to detect the soul already present in Aretha’s performances, seemingly influenced in equal part by Jazz and Gospel. Three of her best tracks here, ”I Told You So”, ”Ac-cent-tchu-ate the Positive” and ”Operation Heartbreak” (where she belts out soul with real gusto), are the tunes that point most convincingly to her future triumph as the Queen of Soul.

Various - Stax Does The Beatles 2LP (RSD) (LP)
€40,00Quick ViewThe influence of the Beatles on the popular music of the 1960s can’t be overstated; spreading not only throughout the white rock world, but also extending to soul music as well. While Stax is destined to be primarily remembered for the wealth of original soul classics it generated, Stax Does the Beatles reminds us that its artists were also able interpreters of music first performed outside of the Southern Soul genre. Stax Does The Beatles, reissued on vinyl for the first time, features the historic Stax reinterpretations of the Fab Four’s songbook by Otis Redding, Booker T. & The MGs, Isaac Hayes and other legendary Stax artists.

Bo Eddie And The Soul Finders - The Hook And Sling (LP)
€30,00Quick ViewFrom his 1950s R&B like Check Mr. Popeye and Dinky Do my man Eddie Bo was N’awlins through and through. This is the music he started cutting in the late 1960s when he turned to funk but the brother put the ”fun” in funk so you gotta get ready to dance when you put on this platter at a party. The late Billy Miller of Norton Records turned me on to this dude and for that and much more I thank Billy!

Burke Solomon - If You Need Me (180 gram) (LP)
€23,00Quick View• Rousing, romantic and confident at the same time, Solomon Burke brought a country influence into rhythm and blues, with emotional phrasing and intricately constructed, melodic ballads and mid-tempo songs. Burke’s versatile, force-of-nature voice combined gospel fervor, country gentility and R&B grit. He could swing from a satiny croon to a gruff soul shout to a deep, caressing baritone. Burke was also surrounded with sophisticated “uptown” arrangements and was provided with much of his material by his producers. The combination of gospel, blues, country, and production polish was basic to the recipe of early soul. He preached, moaned and shouted, with horns and choirs wrapped around his golden voice, and when you hear him, you know he’s telling you the truth.
• This essential LP edition includes one of Solomon Burke’s finest albums, the splendid If You Need Me. Originally released by Atlantic Records, and long unavailable on vinyl, this long play contains 12 songs recorded between 1959 and 1962. It is named for the opening cut, Solomon’s take on Wilson Pickett’s “If You Need Me,” which was a successful single for Burke, who sent the song to number two on the R&B charts. These mostly mid-tempo songs find Burke’s gritty pleas at home in sultry, bluesy surroundings (“Send Me Some Loving”) and sweetened up for the occasional exoticatinged arrangement (“Tonight My Heart She Is Crying”).
• This is the material upon which Solomon Burke’s legend was built. It is enduring music and the epitome of southern soul up north.
