On Kory Records
but this is just a repress of the Bell album right?
I'm looking for earlier releases that never came out on LP
This wasn't made clear initially.
Please forgive Reynaldo--he's not exactly famliar with the nuances of the term "budget"...
Their Pickwick joint of early stuff is really nice. No "project soul" tho
yes thats what I'm talking about. This is now on the want list
Wasn't that more a concert recording from a late Meters date?
if I'm wrong then, yes, it counts
eh, it's really not all that thrilling. the snake covers all the good parts.
supposed to be originally unreleased tracks by known artists?
what up Jake! That album is from '81 and its all sweet modern soul. I've had it before but didn't find it to my liking.
Now if theres an album of previously unreleased Delfonics 60's output that came out later on in their career I'd be salivating for it
I'm assuming this is early stuff they cut in 1969 produced by Jerry "Swamp Dogg" Williams. Are "Rise Up" and "Keep On Dancing" on this elpee? Those two tracks were released as a single on Atlantic; everything else was unreleased till later.
What's on it? Does it have "Trespassin," "Sophisticated Alabama Soupbone," "A Little Soul Party," "Got To Hold On"? I think that's the early stuff on Compass (ca. '67-68)? I know some of those songs were on singles ("Trespassin'" charted low on Billboard's soul listings), but I don't think they were released on album until well into the seventies. I don't even know if Up Front had it first; their parent label, Trip, put out some O.P. reissues around the same time.
Of course, if it has "Here Today & Gone Tomorrow," "Bad Bargain," "Over The Rainbow," etc., it's likely their Capitol LP with a new face.
