We have been lucky enough to get our hands on some amazing Philadelphia music. This project we have been working on for some months now might be the best one yet. In one single day back in 1970 a relatively young producer by the name of Emmanuel Campbell Jr hired the Sigma Sound Studio backing band, later to be known as MFSB - to lay down several tracks so Manny can bring his cast of singers and other musicians.. it’s amazing to think that in one day Manny Campbell would work through, The Delights (featuring the 15year old Peaches known to the world later as Brandi Wells) The New Establishment (one solo 45, highly sought after by funk collectors) & The Nu-Ron’s (one of New Jersey’s finest vocal groups) - on two different 16 track multi’s we have loving remixed and re-mastered (with the help of Tom Moulton on a few of the songs) some of the best sweet soul, low rider soul, r&b, funk and northern tunes! Album to be released in the upcoming months. Thank you to: @jeremyzombie for the amazing design Tom Moulton for doing what you do, and loving this music so passionately Pete Humphrey’s - who would have been the mixing engineer at these sessions and has “golden ears” on the mastering. My crew at Brewerytown Beats for the willingness to put up with my obsessiveness.. Mixing engineer - @mdiddium 🤓 - for the hours of mixing & rebuilding tunes with me. Soon to be released on Brewerytown Records! Preorder: https://brewerytownrecords.bandcamp.com/album/all-my-life-the-songs-of-manny-campbell

Next up for Philadelphia record label /store Brewerytown Beats - The previously unheard sessions from Graterford Prison funk & soul band Power Of Attorney. Recorded in two separate sessions, one in January of 1973 and one in April of the same year. Two of the tracks from the January session were released on an extremely hard to find 7" (https://www.discogs.com/Power-Of-Attorney-Changing-Man/release/9801918) the other 4 tracks were previously unreleased - The band had minor success when Stanley Vincent (Ooh Ooh Child fame) produced a 1974 LP for Polydor Records. The material on these earlier tapes proves to be raw, gut wrenching deep soul cuts - many songs emulating the sounds of the day. Completely remixed & remastered from the original session tapes. Listen Power Of Attorney - I'm Just Your Clown Bittersweet love ballad - previously unreleased lowrider soul from Philadelphia. Power Of Attorney - Changing Man The reflective “Changing Man,” an original composition by McDowell. “It tells the story of a man who made a mistake, and after a while in jail, he gets his head together, and realizes it’s time to straighten it out,” the 21-year-old serving life for murder, told The Philadelphia Daily News nearing the single release. Power Of Attorney Re-Mixed and ReMastered from the original 2" reels, this MONSTER soul/funk jam from Power Of Attorney band, a 6 piece band from Graterford Prison, originally recorded in 1972 at famed Philly studio, Sigma Sound.

The Thompsons - I'll Get Over It on BCW Records. Relatively unknown Philly Soul from 1975 Re-Mastered with Liner Notes and never before seen photo's of the band. Gatefold LP with Japanese style OBI Promotional Video From Dusty Groove: A tremendous album from a totally hip Philly soul group of the 70s – the kind of quartet who would have been huge, had they recorded in another city – but whose genius was most likely eclipsed by the superstars that were stuffing the Philadelphia scene at the time! These guys have a great way of blending the rough with the smooth, the sweet with the funky – a vibe that's maybe more in the mode of some of the hip acts on Stang/All-Platinum, especially The Whatnauts – or with the badass vibe of their contemporaries Soul Generation – all with a sound that's got a lot more raw power than you'd guess from their rented tuxedos on the cover! The production is nice and raw – just dynamic group soul vocals, with just the right touches of funk instrumentation and larger orchestrations – all with an edge that really hangs on, even on the mellower numbers. Titles include "Love In Her Eyes", "Message", "Invincible", "You Gotta Get Down To Ever Get Up", "I'll Always Love You", "I'll Get Over It", and "We Love To Sing" https://www.dustygroove.com/ Bandcamp https://bcwrecords.bandcamp.com/releases

Gatefold LP with Japanese style OBI Coming from North Philadelphia in the mid-seventies was a real struggle, being in a household of musicians lead by Charles Thompson Sr (background vocalist for the Gospel Travelers) was 10 times harder.

First Time Ever on VINYL Remixed by Tom Moulton First in a series of new releases from the Arctic Archives LIMITED TO 500 First in a series of 45's designed for DJ's with never before heard instrumental tracks on the flip side. Hand Picked by Brewerytown Beat Video Trailer Flyer Arctic Records Info Founded by WDAS program director/deejay Jimmy Bishop in conjunction with Jamie/Guyden Records in 1964, Arctic Records was one of Philadelphia’s most important early soul labels, greatly influencing the subsequent rise of Philly soul. Barbara Mason’s classic “Yes, I’m Ready” was the label’s biggest seller in 1965; she quickly became Arctic’s flagship artist, making a slew of splendid followups as well. Kenny Gamble gained invaluable experience at Arctic, not just as a songwriter and producer but as a smooth-voiced singer. Arctic hosted the Volcanos and the Ambassadors, two of the City of Brotherly Love’s finest male vocal groups, and the sexy, sultry Honey & the Bees. Daryl Hall got his start at Arctic as lead tenor with blueeyed soulsters the Temptones; Della Humphrey’s debut Arctic single hit when she was barely in her teens. Add vocalists Kenny Hamber, Winfield Parker, and Herb Johnson; inspired one-offs by Cindy Gibson, Dee Dee Barnes, and Billy Floyd, and Harold Melvin & the Blue Notes in their pre-Teddy days, and what you end up with is an incredibly consistent Philly soul label, from its inaugural girl group issue by the Tiffanys to the stirring Royal Five 45 that closed out Arctic’s release schedule.
