CARLENA WILLIAMS & THE NORTH CAROLINAS  -  SOULFUL DROP IN THE BUCKET 

 

CRATES OF SOUL RECORDS  -  CATALOGUE NO :  CS004 

 

RELEASE DATE :  FRIDAY 8TH NOV, 2019 .

 

LIMITED EDITION :  250 COPIES 7" VINYL . 

 

The bottomless pit of music history continues to give back in this digital age of convenience as Crates Of Soul offer a limited edition vinyl 45.

   Our quest to shine a light on previously unheard and unissued music continues and it's hard to believe this is 35 years old...

   Carlena Williams recorded the demo with the sole intention of striking a record deal which for one reason or another never materialised .

   Luckily the  cassette tape remained as evidence sat shelved lingering in obscurity unheard and unloved.

   This lo - fi D.I.Y. recording with sparse production alongside Carlena's ascending sweet vocals weave into a modern soul mid tempo groove. 

   Limited to 250 copies - so before it becomes hard to acquire take the opportunity to pre - order .

   We are making the first 100 copies available at £10 plus postage   

SOLD 

 

   Only one copy per customer - gives every one a chance prior to release next month when the retail price increases.

The first 100 copies at pre order price now sold. 

Why only 250 copies? I would have thought there is a slightly bigger market than that.

One of my all time faves. I didn't realise she wrote it, so it's good to see she'll be getting some royalties at last. Is she well? What's on the b side, the instrumental?

No inst Simon one didn't exist ......

She cut it hoping for a record deal that never materialised....

We always press 250 copies to maintain the authenticity Limited Edition only fair to those who buy into the ethos  - We will never repress or rerun as some label's do...

FYI  over 175 copies already sold at pre order 

 

The price is now £11 plus pp ( 100 were at £10 )
