There is no doubt that in the 1970s and 1980s, Malaco in Mississippi and Muscle Shoals Sound in Alabama were both highly significant in defining the southern soul sound. Malacoโ€™s Studio had opened in 1967, while Muscle Shoals Sound Studio opened its doors for business in 1969, when four musicians left nearby Fame Studios to go it alone. Alarm Records, meanwhile, based in Shreveport, Louisiana, provides us with four of the tracks on this album. Independent producers and major record companies sent their artists south to record, taking advantage of both Malaco and Muscle Shoals Soundโ€™s talented array of musicians, writers and producers. Muscle Shoals Sound, in particular, started to receive artists from Atlantic Records from the get-go; R.B. Greaves, Baby Washington, Sam & Dave and Solomon Burke led the way, along with Scotlandโ€™s Lulu. The first relesase on their own record label was the timeless โ€œIt Hurts So Goodโ€ by Katie Love. Meanwhile, Stax (amongst others) sent some of their artists to record at both studios, and Malaco would also lease some of its own productions out to Atlantic. Alarm Records was a smaller set-up which also produced some wonderful records. This album opens with the only female singer featured โ€“ Dorothy Moore. Her exquisite โ€œGirl Overboardโ€ has been justifiably popular on the soul scene for decades. The other ten tracks showcase an array of fine male singers, most of whom (Bobby Bland and King Floyd aside), sadly and perhaps unjustly, never really made the big time. It is the first showing on vinyl for three of the tracks here (previously having only been issued on CD), and Jimmy Julesโ€™ reading of โ€œHaving A Little Talk With Loveโ€ has never appeared anywhere before. As always, sit back and savour the music! ๐—ฆ๐—ง๐—˜๐—ฉ๐—˜ ๐—š๐—จ๐—”๐—ฅ๐—ก๐—ข๐—ฅ๐—œ

Her musical journey began in the 50s as a teenager singing gospel with the Four Golden Echoes and the Jewell Gospel Trio. In 1967 she made the transition to secular music and two years later started an artistically and commercially successful recording career with Fame Records, under the umbrella of Rick Hall, recording a dozen singles and three outstanding albums. Candi was introduced to Hall by Fameโ€™s main artist Clarence Carter, who eventually married her in 1970. A new chapter began in 1974 at Warner Bros, from which the two songs paired on this record originated. They are now available on 7โ€ for the first time. โ€œCanโ€™t Stop Being Your Foolโ€ is a powerful composition by Phillip Mitchell perfectly suited for her; on the flip side we find โ€œYou Bet Your Sweet, Sweet Loveโ€, a country soul masterpiece produced by Dave Crawford. Another essential release on Soul4Real. JADD 2 originally unreleased tracks finally available on 7" THE VALENTINOS (S4R44) IยดVE GOT LOVE FOR YOU / IยดVE GOT A GIRL Despite their early success, The Valentinosโ€™ story was, like many other groups, a โ€˜what might have beenโ€™ story. But there could not have been a more hardworking group. Every night, Friendly Womack Sr. taught his boys all the gospel songs he knew before he kicked them out of the house because they wanted to switch to secular singing. โ€œBobby, youโ€™re singing too church!โ€ shouted Sam Cooke across the recording desk at the United Recording Studios in L.A. to Bobby and his brothersโ€ฆ Still torn here between gospel and secular singing, Friendly โ€œJuneโ€ Womack told me about both these two lost tracks from the group: โ€œBetween you and I, we were looking hard to get another โ€˜Looking For A Loveโ€™. We were desperate for that, as that was such a big seller for usโ€. Ultimately these sides failed to be released, yet they were both great tracks. Wouldnโ€™t it be great though if, this time around, Soul4Real Records were able to hang out the โ€˜sold outโ€™ banner that all the Womack brothers really deserved? GRAHAME JOYCE

  7. Four originally unreleased tracks finally available on vinyl/7" PRE-ORDER NOW FOR 20th SEPTEMBER https://soul4real.es/ CARLA THOMAS (S4R36) LONELINESS / IF ITยดS NOT ASKING TOO MUCH Though she was Stax Records' Queen of Soul (and Otis Redding was her king), there was much more to Carla Thomas. In 1967, even while being promoted by the name of her most recent album, The Queen Alone, she was expanding her sound, developing a cabaret act that showcased a mix of genres and styles and that was built around her beautiful voice. She was exploring new vistas when these two sides were recorded. Isaac Hayes wrote "Loneliness". Carla's suave delivery evokes Diana Ross, and the shiny brass horns call out a Burt Bacharach arrangement as much as Stax. This is Carla with a nice polish on the groove. Labelmate and friend Deanie Parker wrote "If It's Not Asking Too Much". A sparer presentation, the organ drives the tango rhythm and alsoโ€”a second keyboard, I thinkโ€”swells behind Carla, everything entwining and deepening the song's brooding tone. This is the kind of side that can both start your night or finish it. Carla Thomas has got it all. ROBERT GORDON THE RANCE ALLEN GROUP (S4R37) EVERYBODYยดS TALKINยด/ YOU NEED A FRIEND LIKE MINE Rance Allen churned that rhythm smack between gospel music and soul. Rance brought the fire, his every performance a dedicated reach beyond expectations. It's like he lived in a realm above ours, and his performances were a ladder from our plane to his, an invitation to step up, step out, be good, do right, dance while doing it, jive and smile. And praise the Lord. Rance sang about Jesus Christ, even when he didn't mention him. His music was an invitation to groove along, but it was also a stepping stone to church. He focused not on the fire and brimstone but on building community, helping those in need, a church of embrace. His two brothers were his band, along with Stax guests. On "Everybody's Talkin'" you can hear disco coming around the corner and also the influence of Isaac Hayes. "You Need A Friend Like Mine" builds on the Staple Singers' "If You're Ready (Come Go With Me)", and it features some of Rance's finest falsetto, up there with Rev. Claude Jeter and Al Green. Rance moves your spirit. ROBERT GORDON

  13. NEW COMPILATION! HERE COME THE TEARS (S4RLP05) 14 tracks from the vaults of Atlantic and Atco, including 4 originally unreleased tracks, first time on vinyl Pre-order now for 10th May: www.soul4real.es Soul4Real continues to provide invaluable service to lovers of quality soul music from the 1960s and 1970s, with another carefully curated long-playing selection of incredible music from the enormous vaults of the Ertegun brothers and Jerry Wexlerโ€™s Atlantic group of labels. Atlantic was and is still based in New York, but its repertoire came from all over the USA. In ยดHere Come The Tearsยด you will hear music from Detroit, Miami, New Orleans, Philadelphia, Houston, Memphis and the Big Apple itself. Most of the featured artists will need no introduction โ€“ and thatโ€™s how it should be, for they are all legends of black American music, regardless of how well they fared in the US charts. Some tracks are big-ticket items, others can be found on 45 at pocket-friendly prices. Four have never been issued on vinyl until now, including the Driftersโ€™ long-thought-lost version of the Oโ€™Jaysโ€™ โ€œI Dig Your Actโ€ and Judy Clayโ€™s thrilling take on โ€œThe Love Of My Manโ€ โ€“ written by Ed Townsend, who also produced the splendid Dee Dee Warwick track that makes its vinyl debut here. One thing that all these tracks have in common, regardless of their vinyl value, is that they are all priceless examples of soul music, from an era where every US state had its own sound, and every artist their own unique style. There is no reason to list highlights โ€“ every track is a highlight! There is also nothing generic or homogenised about anything youโ€™ll hear here โ€“ itโ€™s all coming to you straight from the heart and soul. Whether you are hearing most of these tracks for the first time or getting reacquainted with โ€˜old friendsโ€™, thereโ€™s more to enjoy on this one album than there is in anything currently being issued in the name of 21st century soul. For Realโ€ฆ Lend us your ears โ€“ Here Come The Tears!
