Little Buck - Complete New Orleans Recordings - Charly Records
Little Buck ( Edward Ross ) recorded a small but significant amount of recordings in New Orleans between 1966 and 1970 for Seven B and Instant ,they are gathered together here on this great album ,including his work with Huey Smith and seven previously unissued recordings .His most Indemand record is the heavyweight funk track “ Little Boy Blue “ which is presented in its original mono form ,plus a newly discovered stereo master .The flip side “ Whisper My Name “ is great Southern Soul .The second Seven B 45 is another great coupling of the funky “ Everybody’s Love “ flipped with the fantastic ballad “ Walking In The Mist “ that reminds me of Bobby Bland at his best .The Instant sides with Huey Smith “ You Got Too “ and “ You Ain’t No Hippie “ are great trademark New Orleans sides plus it’s flip “ Coo -Coo Over You “ which received a release on UK London is a slightly humorous track full of NO charm with great femme background vocals .The unissued “ I’m Your Little Chicken “ is a fine funk flavoured side ,the “ Untitled 1 “ is a fantastic slightly funky instrumental,plus two great ballads “ Starting With Today “ and “If I Could Do It All Over “ showcase Little Bucks soulful vocals . As always ,very informative sleeve notes by Dean Rudland and great label scans and artwork .

Free The Black Man's Chains - New Charly Records Release
Charly Records continue their GSF Records reissue programme with this new release ,originally issued in 1972 .”Free The Black Man’s Chains “ was an ambitious project to release a Black Opera ,no doubt encouraged by the rock operas “ Tommy “ and “ Jesus Christ Superstar “ which were in vogue at the time . The main vocalists are L.C.Grier ,who with The Grier Brothers had a fine release on the Philadelphia Melody label with “ Weeping Baby All The Time “ and Novella Edmonds a new name to me . Not surprisingly ,the lyrics on many of the songs have a strong social conscience ,black struggle theme ,which again was to the fore in 1972 .The strong musicians line up included some key names from Philly : Bobby Eli,Daryl Hall ,Don Renaldo ,Richard Rome ,Ron Baker ,Norman Harris and even Ray Charles on electric piano . The best songs for me are the powerful title track by L.C. Grier ,a powerful funk track which would go down a storm at the hard edged Funk events ,the beautiful “ Gone Is The Laughter Of You “ which also gained a 45 release on the Sunshine label ,and the duet of LC and Novella Edmonds on “ North To The Promised Land “ . Excellent in depth sleeve notes by Dean Rudland complete a really interesting release . Free The Black Man's Chains by The Afro-American Ensemble SIDE A L.C. GRIER - Free The Black Man's Chains L.C.

I reckon about 1997 ,seeing as the first night was May 1994 ,and this tape commemorated the 3rd anniversary.

Eddie Holman United New Gospel release on Charly
This Eddie Holman Gospel album was originally released in the USA on Agape Records in the mid 80’s and on Charly Records in the UK around the same time .There must be some demand judging by the prices on Discogs ,and now Charly have reissued it to satisfy that demand .It was recorded at Sigma Sound in Philly ,with musicians such as Norman Harris and Ronnie Baker providing the backing tracks .There are 7 tracks on the album with Eddie’s trademark tenor and falsetto vocals soaring beautifully as always .The dancer “ Holy Ghost “ is a standout track ,and the lilting “ Eternal Love “ is stunning vocally .The sleevenotes by Tony Cummings are exemplary,covering both sides of the inner sleeve .

On The Scene With Chris Farlowe new album
Great new overview of Chris Farlowe ,now out on Charly Records .Doesn’t include the chart topping “ Out Of Time “ ( Number 1 when England won the World Cup in ‘66 ) ,but concentrates on his more Soulful album tracks and singles .Love his versions of Garnet Mimms “ Looking For You “ and “ It Was Easier To Hurt Her “ ,” Open The Door To Your Heart “ & “What Becomes Of The Broken Hearted “ are super versions .Also love his stomping “ Don’t Just Look At Me “ and a great take on Dee Dee Warwick’s “ We’re Doing Fine “ .Superb sleevenotes by Dean Rudland and lovely label scans complete a fine set .

John Manship Auction results 26th March 2025.
It might be rare ,but the mix on the Ko Ko ‘45 isn’t half as good as the Japanese CD or the Grapevine 2000 / Kent singles .Im my opinion of course ….
