Samuel T. Robison, last few copies

[Dave Thorley]

Flown out the door, just a couple left, then their gone ............

----------------- A Great slice of Southern Soul ----------------------
If you get in a car and drive one hour south out of Memphis you'll arrive in Holly Springs, Ms. An unremarkable little town with a successful collage, Rust Collage, a pretty little town square, but little else. Until you scratch under the surface, take a turn off the square and walk about 200 yds and you'll find an old record store, that many years ago was the place to go for Soul and R&B records in that part of Mississippi. Once inside if you talk to the owner, a skinny little man way up in his 80's, he'll tell you of the towns musical heritage, of Mr Mitchell's thriving little studio, Mitchell Recording Co. Inc., sadly now long gone. But back in the day, he recorded many a localish artists and some he put out on a number of labels he owned.
Remarkable story ?, not really, these studio's once existed all over the Deep South, now all but a few remain. But every now and then you may find one of these recordings, earth shattering ?, No, but each a little piece of that soul heritage now almost lost to the world.

Here is one such 45 on one of Mr Mitchell's label's, Vimla. Deep Southern soul that if you take the time to listen to it through, you may even be moved by, a little. Today nothing is know of Samuel, Mr Mitchell is now dead, so it's up to us to keep a light burning for these recordings ........................ Enjoy !!

Now I was lucky enough to find a small handful of near mint copies, so here today £12.00 +P&P. You many find it cheaper if you search hard, but really !!. When they are gone, there gone for good....................................
