We launch the ππ¦π΄π¦π³π·π’ ππ΄π±π¦π€πͺπ’π series with two EPs dedicated to Sam Cookeβs SAR Records and the Chess label (including its subsidiary, Cadet).
The SAR EP shines a spotlight on the Womack family, initially known as the Womack Brothers before transitioning into R&B as The Valentinos. Three of the four tracks are originally unreleased, while the fourth is the Womack Brothersβ version of βCouldnβt Hear Nobody Prayβ (SAR 123)βa virtually impossible-to-find gem that predates βLooking For A Loveβ by a year. Thanks to Friendly Womack for his help on this project.
The Chess/Cadet EP features songs by Laura Lee and Irma Thomas, recorded in the late β60s at FAME Studios, along with some of the most sophisticated productions from Cadet, represented by Terry Callier. All tracks are originally unreleased and are making their debut on 7β vinyl.
