WELCOME TO RELEASE #13 FROM SOUL4REAL RECORDS 𝗝𝗜𝗠𝗠𝗬 𝗚𝗥𝗘𝗦𝗛𝗔𝗠 𝗔 𝗠𝗶𝗹𝗹𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗧𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴𝘀 / 𝗡𝗼 𝗪𝗮𝘆 𝗧𝗼 𝗦𝘁𝗼𝗽 𝗜𝘁 (S4R13) Soul4Real bring you the last 45 in their trio of previously unreleased Jimmy Gresham Playground Studios recordings from the mid-70’s; a perfect tribute to a great but under-recognized talent. “A Million Things” has been a huge collaborative effort, meticulously pieced together in 2020 from an unfinished vocal track. Jimmy’s trademark rich, velvet voice, imbued with soul and inflected with a large pinch of southern grit, has been complemented perfectly by the addition of multitalented Marc Franklin’s evocative vibes, horn and string arrangements. Clayton Lancaster laid down the gorgeous, choppy guitar licks which drive the whole mid-tempo groove, and the absolute pinnacle is formed by the glorious, soaring backing vocals of Jimmy’s sister, Mary. A recording that sounds as though everybody had been in that same Florida studio in the mid-70’s, bouncing off each other’s talent, on a day when they could feel the electricity in the air and they knew something special had been created. Flip it over to find Jimmy in a more down-home style on “No way to Stop it”, a worthy track getting its first release on vinyl thanks to the efforts of the Soul4Real team.

Welcome to release #12 from Soul4Real Limited Edition of 400 copies. PRE ORDER NOW FOR 5th OCTOBER 2020 JERRY WILLIAMS / SWAMP DOGG Oh Lord, What Are You Doing To Me / If You´re Leaving (Take Me With You) (S4R12) Collectors of black American music have long revered maverick genius Jerry Williams Jr. a.k.a. Swamp Dogg. His brilliant songwriting and unique voice have left indelible imprints on soul for decades, and Soul 4 Real Records are proud to add a Swamp 45 to their ever-growing catalogue. LISTEN HERE: https://bit.ly/2R758TR https://bit.ly/2ZCBQS3 Both these tracks make their vinyl debut here. If you saw Swamp perform “Oh Lord” at 2019’s Soul 4 Real weekender, it’s a memory you’ll treasure forever. Swamp’s exquisite studio version of the soul standard was recorded in 1967 as a follow-up to “Baby You’re My Everything”, but inexplicably stayed unissued for 40 years. Almost 40 years have also passed since Swamp recorded his demo of “If You’re Leaving”, a song from his “lost” country album on Mercury. Never issued anywhere before, it’s a rare chance to hear work-in-progress from one of soul’s most beloved artists. As he enters his seventh decade of recording, Swamp continues to be active and musically provocative. A man of many names and many talents, here’s Swamp Dogg at his vintage best!

Here it is the 11th release 7” from Soul 4 Real Records, more unreleased music from THE MASQUERADERS. Originally recorded in 1972. Limited Edition of 400 copies. PRE ORDER NOW FOR 15th JUNE 2020 LISTEN HERE: The celebrated history of the Masqueraders has given us two of soul music’s most memorable recordings with “I Ain’t Got To Love Nobody Else” and “I’m Just An Average Guy”. Through the years they have left us many classic gems that are heavily sought after by collectors and some that have yet to be mined. However, if there was ever any doubt about the Masqueraders´ greatness, the previously unreleased “Make Me Think You Love Me” from 1972 puts that doubt to rest. After a stunning intro the group eases into those harmonies that captured our hearts back in day and remind us once again about the magic of that period of soul music. “When Trouble Calls” is a Jerry Butler and Curtis Mayfield composition from 1961 and the group´s version appeared originally on an impossible-to-find cassette published in 1993. Unlike the Ice Man’s version, the Masqueraders upgrade the song with their patented silky-smooth vocals. Thanks to the team at Soul4Real for digging up and presenting us with these two recordings.

JEWEL BASS I Wanna Know / Sweet High (S4R10) Malaco has long been a favourite label of mine and I always felt that Jewel Bass was a huge talent that never realised her potential there. She was somehow was overtaken by the likes of Dorothy Moore, Denise Lasalle and Fern Kinney in the “pecking order“ down in Jackson, MS. Jewel sang countless backing vocals for such luminaries as Johnnie Taylor, Tommy Tate, Jean Knight, Eddie Floyd, Bobby Bland and many others, and was featured in bands like the Carbon Copies, Natural High and Centaura. Both of these tracks which have lain undiscovered until now were recorded in 1981 in International Recording Studio, Pearl, Mississippi, and are two contrasting delights for soul fans. “I Wanna know“ is a mid-tempo shuffler with hints of a “Joy & Pain” riff in there and definitely one for the most discerning dancefloors. ”Sweet High” is a so soulful string laden ballad on which Jewel´s vocals are launched effortlessly into the heights on the back of an impressive production. Enjoy these two fine examples of real soul music exhumed from the vaults for your pleasure.

Welcome to release #9 from Soul 4 Real Records CALVIN RICHARDSON I´ll Take Her / Looks Like (You´ve Been Crying) (S4R09) LISTEN HERE: https://bit.ly/2NKwONJ https://bit.ly/371vw8q Calvin Richardson is a bit of a chameleon, smoothly able to transition between the most heartfelt gritty soul ballads to the latest cutting edge urban R&B that now dominates the more mainstream sound of today´s “Black America”. His revered solo debut “Country Boy” came back in 1999 when signed to major label powerhouse Universal Records and went on to sell 100,000 units but, in those halcyon days, still not enough to get him a second bite of the cherry at the time. He then went on to strike deals with Hollywood Records, Jordan House (owned by Eric Benet) and Shanachie Records where he still resides. With comparisons drawn to a young Bobby Womack, it’s easy to see why he chose to record long player “Facts Of Life: The Soul Of Bobby Womack” back in 2009. For their ninth release those sterling Soul 4 Real guys have chosen to resurrect two fantastic sides from that debut recording, with the soulful as hell “I’ll Take Her” backed with the melodic gem of a beat ballad “Looks Like (You’ve Been Crying)”…make sure you don’t miss it!

PRE-ORDER NOW FOR 4th OCTOBER 2019 Welcome to release #8 from Soul4Real LISTEN HERE: JIMMY GRESHAM Shadow Of A Doubt / Chasin´A Rainbow (S4R08) ------------------------------------------------------------------ HONESTY, RESPECT & TRUST have helped the Soul 4 Real team secure wonderful gems for its record label which showcases the acts at its events. Following the release of “Garden Of Love”, please let me introduce to you this latest unreleased song and its flip side´s first outing on vinyl. Recorded in the mid-seventies at Florida’s Playground Studios, "Shadow Of A Doubt" is a great composition penned by Motown’s Reuben Howell. This down home southern soul masterpiece, to which extra horns and strings have been added to beef up the production, is a winner, make no mistake! Jimmy is in great voice on this mid-tempo outing, which is pure class! Expect a sell out. The Finley Duncan produced "Chasin’ A Rainbow" is an up-tempo dancer which will be filling the dance floor, but I have a feeling "Shadow" will be tugging at our heartstrings for years to come.

DAN PENN - BLUE IN THE HEART / TIME TO GET OVER YOU (SOUL 4 REAL 07) Wallace Daniel Pennington. More familiarly known as Dan Penn. Considered by many to be the greatest songwriter of his era, a key component in the evolution of Southern Soul, and a man whose lyrics and melodies completely define that genre. Dan’s song list is much bigger than his discography, and opportunities to own any “new” Dan Penn 45 are rare. Fans everywhere will therefore celebrate this coupling of two exquisite tracks from Dan’s recent CDs for his Dandy label. You may know “Blue In The Heart” via Irma Thomas’ version on her Penn tribute album “My Heart’s In Memphis”. “Time To Get Over You” (co-written with Cajun legend Jo-El Sonnier) may be less familiar. Spin it frequently, and it will become no less loved. Collectively these recordings show that, even after seven decades of peerless writing and singing, Dan’s music is still of a quality that today’s other tunesmiths can barely aspire to… …This IS Soul. For Real. (Tony Rounce) LISTEN HERE: https://bit.ly/2KuNqYB https://bit.ly/2Mz3c7q Presented in a beautiful picture cover laminated 7" designed by Jordi Duró. Liner notes by Tony Rounce.
