Mal C Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 (edited) Always had a fascination with Brunswick records, as I'm sure we all do. Just re reading Robert Pruter's bible 'Chicago soul' again, and it struck me that all the Brunswick 45's I love and buy seem to have come a certain period when Carl Davis was at the company and they created their own sound. According to Pruters book, once he had left the company taking with him many of the key arrangers / musicians the company's production line if you will kind of ground to a halt, and they heavily bought acts and artists songs to release.I keep coming across 45's that are so so, some are pretty bad in fact, and unless they are actually earlier releases than the Golden 'Soul ' period, I assume they fall under that category of being bought after Davis left the company... My question is this, whats the best of that period?Malcolm Edited July 22, 2015 by Mal C Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Jim Elliott Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 1966-1973. The Brunswick sound of that time, for me is the pinnacle of soul music. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Winsford Soul Posted August 2, 2015 Share Posted August 2, 2015 There's a pub near me called the Brunswick. Apparently it was a bikers pub. What a travestySteve 1 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
