  1. Betty Harris - Soul Perfection - Charly Records LP 16 tracks of classic New Orleans Soul View full article
  2. Betty Harris - Soul Perfection- UK Charly A timely reissue by Charly Records ,for this wonderful compilation album by Betty Harris - Soul Perfection ,which was originally issued in the UK on the legendary Action label in 1969 .This album replicates the 16 tracks in the same order as the original release ,with Soul quality to please both Deep Soul collectors and those who like to dance ,with every track epitomising the New Orleans sound with Allen Toussaint at the helm on song writing ,production and music duties .” What A Sad Feeling β€œ ,” Can’t Last Much Longer β€œ ,and β€œ Nearer To You β€œ are beautiful ballads with Ms Harris in great voice ,while the more uptempo β€œ I’m Evil Tonight β€œ ,”Ride Your Pony β€œ ,” I Don’t Wanna Hear It β€œ ,”Trouble With My Lover β€œ ,and β€œ 12 Red Roses β€œ are classic 60’s Soul dancers .In more recent times the funky β€œ Mean Man β€œ ,and β€œ I’m Gonna Git You β€œ have gained a new audience of fans digging β€œ sister funk β€œ tracks . Informative sleeve notes by Dean Rudland ,some stunning label scans and beautiful bright pink vinyl complete an essential release .
  3. Two great releases ,nice to see Chris Jackson released at last ,and the return of the iconic Soul City label
  4. Thanks for your contributions Roburt and Kesalocasoul ,now thinking about a Canyon compilation album …
  5. All very odd John ,Wally Roker did release some great records though ,Doris Duke ,Swamp Dogg ,Rudy etc
  6. The above ,although not the same song ,has the same chorus ,definitely influenced by β€œ Hello Stranger β€œ
  7. Is he the same guy as Gasmaskheadhunter as Albert Brico has a lot of photos wearing a gas mask ? It’s a theory anyway ….
  8. King Errison - The King Arrives - Charly Records Review of this reissue from Percussionist King Errison for Charly Records View full article
  9. King Errison - The King Arrives - Charly Records King Errison is a highly regarded percussionist player originally from Nassau Bahamas ,with a long and successful career.Early in his career he and his band were featured in the James Bond β€œ Thunderball β€œ film ,he was part of Neil Diamonds backing band for over 30 years ,and he was heralded the β€œ unsung hero β€œ of Motown by Raynoma Singleton and also Berry Gordy ,playing with Marvin Gaye ,Jackson 5 ,Diana Ross and many more of the Motown stable .He was also a member of The Incredible Bongo Band ,and recorded many solo albums which are revered for the β€œ breakbeats β€œ in Hip Hop circles . β€œ The King Arrives β€œ is a solo album cut for and released in 1970 on Wally Rokers Canyon label,famous for releases by Swamp Dogg and Doris Duke amongst others . The key track here is β€œ Zola β€œ ,also released on a 45 ,and a massive play on the Rare Soul scene of the mid 70’s ,a manic ,infectious bongo led side .The rest of the album could be described as Jazz with a Caribbean flavour ,with an array of highly regarded musicians such as : David T. Walker ,Wilton Felder ,Preston Love and George Bohannan .If you are a lover of Jazz this album is worth investigating.
  10. It was an excellent film ,as was the Symphonical Records piece also .The producers were still filming yesterday and at Liverpool ,so the film will probably be extended eventually.The Q & A and after party was also great ,good to witness a Ruben Molina set first hand .
  11. It was issued a while back as β€œI’m Knocking At Your Heart β€œ but the mix issued didn’t have the bells in it
  12. It’s Darrell Banks β€œ Don’t You Know How Much I Wanna Love You β€œ Acetate .
  13. Not Soul related ,but just reading the sleeve notes to The Rolling Stones β€œ Exile On Main Street β€œ Album ,and Clydie King is heavily featured as a backing vocalist …
