Mike Posted May 18, 2005 Posted May 18, 2005 "Don Varner new CD Album titled "Finally Go Over!" on the UK Label SHOUT! will be released on May 30th 2005. It is also already available online for pre-ordering... Here are some clips of announcements about the upcoming release: This series represents RPMs foray into what In The Basement magazine calls Real Soul and R&B, primarily from the 60s, but with some crossover into the '50s and '70s. SHOUT! was chosen as an imprint name from its connotations with the Isley's hit, also the Shout label subsidiary of Bert Berns Bang label, and last but not least because label co-chief Clive Richardson used to publish a Soul magazine in the '70s called...Shout. The logo design is somewhere between the original Shout and Minit label designs. You can reach us at: Shout Records, P.O.Box 49215, London SE12 9XF.
