I'm not sure if there have been any topics on this fine chronicle before, but over at the "B" Side Red Kelly is mapping Lattimore Brown's career. I had never heard of Lattimore before Red started doing these series, but it is an incredible story that takes you through the history of Soul music in a rare fashion. Unlike the (auto)biographies of the bigger Soul stars or books on the great labels, this tale shows some of the finer texture of Soul music in the US. Not to be missed. I hope the good people over at Ace/Kent are paying attention. I would love them to do a compilation on Lattimore, with liner notes by Red of course

Hi Alex

There was a Sound Stage 7 compilation on Lattimore released in 2006 by the Australian label AIM - it is available online quite cheaply. Given the global nature of the marketplace now, I think it unlikely that any UK label would do a CD on Lattimore now.

My own label 'Soulscape' is in the process of putting together CDs on Lattimore's SS7 stablemates Sam Baker, Ella Washington and Roscoe Robinson.

Thanks, I'll check it out.

But who knows, Ace/Kent has competed with Rhino or other labels before

Got So Says My Heart on SS7 on ebay last night for $4. Great record, cant believe no one else bid on it.

Part six is up and the plot thickens
