Two New Rare Soul Dvd's

[Pete S]

23) RHYTHM & BLUES FROM THE VAULTS - MORE LEGENDS OF RARE SOUL & R&B

Here's another phenomenal collection of super-rare clips from the vaults. Very few of these have appeared on any compilation before. And remember, these are clips from the actual time of broadcast, not 80's, 90's or recent re-recordings.

THE FOUR TOPS - REACH OUT I'LL BE THERE

THE MAD LADS - COME CLOSER TO ME

THE FLIRATATIONS - WHAT'S GOOD ABOUT GOODBYE

TAJ MAHAL - AIN'T THAT A LOT OF LOVE

I think I'd only seen maybe 4 of these clips previously; the Marvelettes, Kim Weston, Temptations and Jr Walker clips are all from different sources to the usual ones (e.g. Take Me In Your Arms is NOT from Hullabaloo, as are many others. The Jimmy Ruffin clip is phenomenal. Plus I found the second Flirtations promo from the master tape, recorded at Tintern Abbey once again but this time they have on pink trouser suits instead of evening dresses! 42 tracks on here, that's more than double that are on any previous discs of a similar nature.

24) THE ATLANTIC RECORDS STORY - plus - BBC OMNIBUS DOCUMENTARY "CURTIS MAYFIELD"

Two for the price of one here. The Atlantic records Story is a superb documentary shown on Channel 4 a few years back. It traces the history of the label right up to date and has some stunning rare footage of the greatest acts, from ray Charles and Big Joe Turner through Aretha and the Stax sounds, and Led Zepplin and onwards.

The Curtis Mayfield documentary is a special recorded by the BBC not long before Curtis death in 1999. It's a great look back on his career but also pretty sad, especially the last few years.

Anyway both programs run for around an hour each.

£7.50 each.
