Competition - The 5 yes I said 5 Kent 45s one

Competition - The 5 yes I said 5 Kent 45s one magazine cover

Various landmarks are both flying by and sneaking up, the end of summer, a new month, soul source hits x years online, transfer deadline day passes, 100 Club heading for the 32 yes I said 32 year landmark, to name just a few. Here at the front end of Soul Source feel that with all these landmarks its quite an apt time to have a one off competition. We were going to try and name and tie in the comp along the lines of the landmarks but the one off, end of summer, soul source anniversary online, 100 club 32 year landmark, kids back to school competition title fell foul of the text box.

So instead will just say this one is a big one, 5 yes i said 5 fresh Kent 45s are sitting here right next to the towering things to do pile, waiting to be won by 5 lucky soul source members.

For those who need to always have the better things in life things right away all the fine 45s listed below are the latest from Kents busy release schedule, this time its the Select imprint and though are of limited issue are still available online from some of the regular stockists and also out in the real world either out and about via delaers at events or via the decent record shops.

The Competition details will follow straight after this listing of all the recent releases - complete with clips

This is the third in our “Stars Of” EP series, which kicked off with Goldwax and Fame-themed four-trackers. Los Angeles’ Mirwood label is as iconic as those two imprints, but with a largely different set of soul fans.

Bobby Garrett and Jackie Lee (aka Bob & Earl) contribute two great dance tracks. Bobby’s has never been on vinyl before and is an alternate lyric to the Olympics’ R&B hit ‘Mine Exclusively’. Jackie Lee’s ‘Oh, My Darlin’’ has been described as the emotional pinnacle of Northern Soul (admittedly by me, but I stand by that, and still thrill to it every time I get a chance to spin it).

All the tracks are classic uptempo mid-60s soul dance records that Mirwoodwas famous for, particularly on the UK’s original Northern Soul scene. Although considered rare in the UK at the start of the 70s, most of the releases were good sellers, particularly on the West Coast. The Olympics’ ‘I’ll Do A Little Bit More’ was sampled by Fatboy Slim on ‘Soul Surfing’ in the late 90s, so a new generation of dance fans grooved to the works of Fred Smith and James Carmichael (unknowingly, in the main). This groovily designed, limited press, picture cover EP is completed by the shimmering sexy soul of the Mirettes’ ‘He’s Alright With Me’ – yowsah!

Candi Staton - One More Hurt b/w Do Right Woman - City 020

We are proud to be releasing Candi Staton''s much acclaimed Fame recording ''One More Hurt'' on its first vinyl pressing. It comes from the recent box office success "Evidence: The Complete Fame Records Masters" CDKEN2 353 and had already picked up enough plays from DJs to make its limited 45 release a certainty for a rarity of tomorrow. We have put the slow burner ''Do Right Woman'' on the flip, another unissued Fame diamond that will look so good spinning round a deck.

The Paramount Four - Sorry Ain't The Word b/w James Carpenter - (Marriage Is Only) A State Of Mind - City 021

The Paramount Four is probably the biggest crossover record of the last ten years. Only available on a 100 Club Anniversary limited press complementary single last September, it has been hunted by collectors across the rare soul world ever since. Sublime soul. The B side feature’s James Carpenter’s rendition of Dave Hamilton’s ‘Marriage Is Only A State Of Mind’, which has yet to earn its full kudos. It was an unreleased master tape issued on the first “Detroit Dancers” CD of primarily 60s movers and has been largely missed by the Modern Soul crowd

J T Rhythm - My Sweet Baby b/w O.C. Tolbert - All I Want Is You - City 022

J.T. Rhythm’s CD version of ‘My Sweet Baby’ is substantially different from the one issued on Palmer, which now fetches a four-figure price. Slightly faster, better produced and in vastly improved sound quality, you’d need this even if you were a proud owner of the original single. The reverse of that great 45 was the group’s version of ‘All I Want Is You’ and here for the first time on vinyl is O.C. Tolbert’s reading of that great song. I think even J.T. owners would consider this to be the ultimate version.

Jackie Lee - Anything You Want aka Any Way You Want b/w Jackie Lee - Trust Me - City 023

Jackie Lee’s Mirwood performances have been well documented but Ace’s acquisition of the masters has meant that the true original of the bootlegged ‘I’ll Do Anything’ is at last legally available. It’s backed by his stunning reading of close musical colleague Bobby Womack’s song ‘Trust Me’, another crossover gem.
