    More information about "The Sounds Of Imani: Must Be An Angel"
    Press Release: Sounds Of Imani “Must Be An Angel/It’s Alright” SJ519 Release Date: Monday February 4th 2013 The Sounds Of Imani (with Imani being the Swahili word for faith) was created in 1996 by the versatile husband and wife team of Gerald and Carol Ervin. Carol a keyboard player, vocalist and songwriter in her own right, her background has always been within the gospel genre. She was a choir directress with several Church ensembles before forming in 1995 the Gospel/Jazz group, The Sounds Of J.U.T.O.C.A, with two of her co-workers from the Detroit East Community Mental Health Service: Thomas Lawrence and Julia Shabazz; they were later joined by Selena Rowe. While Gerry a cousin to James Mitchell of the Detroit Emeralds and Paul Mitchell of The Floaters began his career in the field of secular music. Gerald honed his vocal skills singing backing vocals with The Detroit Emeralds, Chapter 8 (pre Anita Baker) and The Floaters. He also featured in the group line up of The Flaming Emeralds with cousin Kenny Goodman, Al Martin, Glynis Martin, Rory Johnson and Chris Knight on their perennial 1977 Northern/Modern Soul classic “Have Some Everybody” (Fee 361). Gerry also featured in the group line up of The Detroit Emeralds when they last toured the UK. The legacy of The Flaming Emeralds continues today with Gerry’s cousin Kenny Goodman who is also currently acting as the musical director for Sounds Of Imani. The Sounds Of Imani are regular performers throughout the Detroit metropolis helping to raise funds for many Community organisations and ministering to various shelter residents such as the Salvation Army and the Detroit Rescue Mission to name a few. They have also appeared at several gospel events throughout California, Milwaukee and Illinois. They recorded their debut cd album entitled “Revelation” in 2002, but it is two of their brand new songs from the “New Project” that we at Soul Junction have licensed for our next 45 release. The contemporary mid tempo gospel outing “Must Be An Angel” backed with the more upbeat dance track “It’s Alright” for your delight. https://soundcloud.com/chalkster/sounds-of-imani-soul-junction For further information please contact John Anderson or Dave Welding Tel: +44 (0)121 602 8115 E-mail sales@souljunctionrecords.co.uk Soul Junction Records 20 Hammersley Close Cradley Halesowen West Midlands ENGLAND B63 2LG Tel: +44 (0) 121 602 8115 E-mail sales@souljunctionrecords.co.uk www.souljunctionrecords.co.uk

    We'll there you go Steve You've spent your life digging up vinyl, and when you eventually shuffle of your mortal coil somebody will be digging you up just to get your vinyl IMO the Isley Brothers Soul On The Rocks is one of (great) better motown albums Dave

  6. Louise
    A.J. is not only a drummer but a singer, writer, producer, keyboard player and engineer. He's worked with all the motown greats, George Clinton and Parliment, Holland and Dozier, Norman Conners, Sins Of Satan Micheal Henderson, Dynamics, Detroit Emeralds, Carol Anderson, Floaters, Chapter 8, Donald Austin, Mad Dog & The Pups plus all the other artists on Magic City, Areatha Franklin, Sandra Feva (a.k.a Sandra Richardson) Ronnie McNair etc etc So he really didn't need to wait around for Edwin. Not quite the unknown artist as some reviewer has implied.

    Press Release: A.J. Sparks & Crew “Working On Love” Soul Junction 520 Release Date: Monday January 7th 2013 https://soundcloud.com/chalkster/aj-sparks-and-crew-both A.J. Sparks (real name Anthony Jones) is one of Detroit’s most respected session musicians who started his career as a drummer and percussionist at the age of 12. A.J’s early career was nurtured under the watchful eye of legendary Funk Brother Joe Hunter whom the young A.J always referred to as “papa Joe”. By the time A.J was eighteen he was backing some of the biggest names on the Detroit music scene. While playing drums for Edwin Starr during a performance at the Apollo Theatre in New York one night, the in house musical director made the lasting quote “that boy can sure beat the sparks off those drums” and so the stage name of “A.J. Sparks” was born. A.J was employed by many local Detroit recording studios including Sonny Marshall’s Dotty’s label and Ernest Burt’s Magic label, featuring on all The Mad Dog & The Pups releases amongst others. A.J’s drum rolls can also be found on The Chapter 8, The Flaming Emeralds, The Detroit Emeralds and the Floaters Fee label releases. A.J also recorded the Funk anthem “Put It In The Pocket” for Fee Records as “A.J. Sparks & The Spark Plugs” with the plugs being Donald “Crazy Legs” Austin and Howard Carter. A.J. also featured as a session musician on his childhood friend Michael Henderson’s” Do It All” album as well as the later “Slingshot” album which Michael recorded with Venna Keith. Further A.J. Sparks credits include working with Parliament and Funkadelic main man George Clinton on his “Cinderella Theory” and “The Awesome Power Of A Fully Operational Mother-ship” projects. More recently A.J has been involved as a co-producer on Ronnie McNair’s first solo project the current “Living My Life” album release. A.J is currently operating his own Detroit Black Smoke Productions Company, and it is with one of his own Black Smoke productions that we at Soul Junction Records kick off the New Year in style with. The incredibly soulful and classy “Working On Love”. The backing vocals on “Working On Love” are provided by a young and up and coming all female group known as 777 Jackpot who were accompanied and supervised by former Golden World and Revilot records recording artist, Ms Pat Lewis. While the b-side, see’s A.J and Crew return to their familiar funk orientated roots with “Gotta Make It Do What It Do” with the Crew member supplying the vocal accompaniments being none other than Mr P-Funk himself George Clinton.

    I still have nightmares about this garbage: The Newbeats "Don't Turn Me Loose"
  14. Louise
    Hi Barry Referring to your original question as to what tracks are mastered from original master tapes or 45's. To expect label owners or employee's to go through their entire catalogue to give details to which is which is a bit like asking "How longs a piece of string". New material isn't a problem but regarding older material this is where most of the problems can possible arise. In a perfect world every record company or artist (independent vanity releases) would have kept and maintained their master tape properly but sadly this is not the case. So original records or acetates have to be used more or in some cases if their is damage to the master tape and the necessary restoration work cannot rectify the problem a record may have to be used in conjunction with the tape to achieve the required standard of sound reproduction. Barry's original question only ever really arises with previously issued material, this reminds me of a little story from a few years ago. when a former big noise radio DJ was praising the re mastering quality of one of our earlier Soul Junction releases, while making derogatory remarks against one of the at the time Kent CD releases. As I also owned a copy of the Kent CD I asked the DJ to tell me the name of the person responsible for the mastering on the CD cover (to which the answer i already knew) which he did. To which I replied that has we use the same company as Kent for our mastering did he not realise that it was the same person who was responsible for the mastering on both projects! both of which sounded great. After a couple of uncomfortable seconds of silence I told the said DJ that he needed to get his ears syringed, get a life and stop trying to be too clever. Dave P.S The said DJ and I no longer speak, I wonder why?

    A clever DJ could always invite the audience to sing along during the missing bit Go on Ted I know your dying to give the "place bid" button a hit

    Sam Pace update: I was told today by his one of his oldest friends and one time Esquire David Bursey that Sam,s family had informed him of Sam passing. When David contacted the family again today to enquire about the funeral arrangements, he was told that Sam was still hanging on in there, although he is in a coma. David is going to visit him tomorrow.
