Lu Pine compilations

[Plouf]

Hi,

I was wondering if there was some compilations (vinyl or CD) related to the Detroit label Lu Pine.  Couldn't find an answer neither on Discogs nor on their Wikipedia entry. Several pages here and there list their catalogue but I discovered no mention of compilations yet.

I guess it would be interesting to listen to what Nelson George qualified of "hardcore rythm'n'blues"!

Regards

Plouf

There were some nice ones on the late lamented US 'Relic' label of Lu Pine  material- a great LP (not sure if it came out on CD) of Doo-Wops in their 'Golden Groups' series which came out in the 80's,  and I've loved it ever since,also a very nice 'The Girl Groups Of Detroit' (Relic CD 7017) which also came out on LP, -also a couple of Falcons compilations on Relic,too.

Not  on Relic there was an excellent budget CD on Fat Boy from 1995 called 'The Original Sound Of Detroit' inc gems like both sides of Betty Lavette's  super 62' debut ,Bobby Wiiliams etc-basically the same as the old late 60's UK Speciality  LP with same title-oh, just remembered another good UK budget  LP of Lupine stuff on Windmill called 'Roots Of Diana Ross,Wilson Pickett & Eddie Floyd' came out about 1973.

Can't remember the title of this late sixties UK compilation on a UK Speciality (Ember) compilation leaning toward the "soul" later productions of the Lupine label, but supposedly not so rare nor expensive and nice looking so maybe worth seeking. Although mastered on low gain I remember...

And this comp on the Falcons, containing most (all?) of their Lu Pine tracks is amazingly great:

Thanks to all for these directions. It's an excellent start indeed!
