Was CDKEND 222 the only one to be released as part of the Masterpieces of the M/S series. Pressed and released in 2003 also available in vinyl - I would assume . Cracking sleeve notes as normal for a Ace/Kent product.

volume 2 came out I think in 2009. There is a sick CD cover, a color photo of towanna and the total destruction dressed as a biker gang and riding choppers, it's awesome.

another awesome thing (for me) on the CD that is never explicitly mentioned is that there's totally an armenian soul group on it (higher feelings on kent). The photos and writing credits give it away...

Nice one Bob, I'm not up to date on Armenia but that's rather cute. I'm guessing there's an enclave in California somewhere and these are the all-American descendants of the original settlers?

Volume 3 is out at the end of November, I'm writing the notes today!

Ady, were these CD only or is there some vinyl?

Great and who is the foxy cover girl sat in a rather sir - jestive manner but rather appropriate "buy me" position on CD 3 And thanks for the track listings. Sparks and Scott - were Barry and Steve plugging this on Soul People. .

Yours in support.

Nikolas.

But the Darrow Fletcher is a real present day find/recording. Adds male vocals with a "top beef cut" to other versions that lacked direction. Sorry Breakwater and GQ etc.

Thanks and so glad I stayed soulfull to capture it Ady .

That be Candi Staton inviting you to sample here wares.

I didn't get the Darrow reference, he ain't on here!

Cheers

Please do correct me if I am of the misunderstanding Ady that the Darrow Fletcher and Rose Batiste, are currently being rumoured as forthcoming Kent/Ace single release's. Or was it Acid Jazz or even Hit And Run .

Thanks

there are a few cities in the US that have a lot of Armenians but LA has the biggest population by far.

there is some population in Detroit, Westbound was run by Armenians (most notoriously Armen Boladian).

Bob,

There are a decent amount of Armenians in New England. I vaguely remember a big R&B collector from there named George Moonigian (sp?). Barry Tashian (of the Remains and many other recordings) is the best musician of Armenian ancestry that I know about. There's an LP by a group of older teens that attended a camp for kids of Armenian ancestry called the Hye Stars. I think it's all rock though. I think the band members were from the Chicago area.

Rose will probably be in the next batch but Darrow's project will take a little longer so forthcoming but not imminent. We want to create some demand first and give the record a good run out.

I'm sorry I've never heard of those labels

Loved the last 2 "Masterpieces" CDs Ady, absolute top drawer.
