Description

This is a compilation of fantastic rhythm and soul from all over America – the sort of stuff that would have had people dancing at the Scene Club if only it had been known about.

The Mod Jazz team of Ady Croasdell and Dean Rudland have dug deep into record collections and tape vaults to come up with 24 examples of high-calibre rhythm and soul, including three previously unreleased masterpieces.

Of these, Little Eva’s ‘Dynamite’ is already filling floors whilst ‘Got A Good Thing Going On’ by Clarence Daniels and Obie Jessie is from the same sessions as their in-demand ‘Hard Working Girl’. Other records such as Lil’ Bob & The Lollipops’ ‘I Got Loaded’ or Gene Burks’ ‘Monkey Man’ are already sought-after rarities.

The compilation really comes into its own with its unearthing of under appreciated singles from some of the most iconic record labels such as King, Musicor, Arock, Modern and Fraternity. This could be the start of a very danceable series.
