vince ayres Posted March 15, 2012 Posted March 15, 2012 really interesting article, thanks for putting it up, for what it's worth my all time favourite 45 is the cleveland group the out of sights "for the rest of my life"
Tfk Posted March 20, 2012 Posted March 20, 2012 A Way Out Records gathering (footballer Jim Brown, who funded the Big Jim label, is in centre holding the LP) ... ... Great read for sure.....whats the album that the Way Out Records team are holding up? ktf tfk
Roburt Posted March 20, 2012 Author Posted March 20, 2012 I think its the Sensations 'Sensational Lost Cuts' LP, released in 1971 -- but only one copy was pressed up & I have that.
Guest starvingforsoul Posted March 21, 2012 Posted March 21, 2012 Good stuff, I'll definitely check up some of those names
Roburt Posted March 22, 2012 Author Posted March 22, 2012 Chicago's Numero Group seem to have a fair slice of old Cleveland soul product sewn up. They bought up the Boddie Records / Studio output last year and have already issued quite a few tasty items ........ see https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DWGHiotuycM. We have already had a few rare 45's, some previously unissued tracks, the Mod Squad demo LP (this group grew / changed to become Sly, Slick & Wicked) and in the very near future they are issuing the COMPLETE Lou Ragland record collection (all the tracks EVER released on Lou + Lou & Hot Chocolate's live album & a couple of unreleased things). The only extensive catalogue that they have yet to land is the Way Out (& associated labls) output. That really is the prize as only about a 1/3 of what the organisation recorded ever escaped on vinyl. In the Way Out vaults there are certainly more Lou Ragland related cuts plus numerous tracks from the Sensations, Bobby Wade, Soul Notes, Fred Toles, the Occasions, Exceptional Three & many more.

If you need any of the reissue / first time on vinyl unissued we stock the box set's and 45's regards Simon.
Roburt Posted March 22, 2012 Author Posted March 22, 2012 If a reissue company (Numero & / or Kent would be best) snagged the Way Out catalogue, they'd also get access to Way Out's later releases. These were put out on the Jenesis & SoJamm labels.
