Following the recent release by The Ellis Hall Group via Super Disco Edits last year (a lot of positive comments on here), we now have news of the second upcoming release from this talented group. Release notes follow below... Release Notes Welcome to our second release by the Talented Ellis Hall Jr and his band out of Boston from 1978. The group caught our attention a few years ago when we spotted a lengthy performance they did for a show called "Night Shift". These two songs the summer "Music , Sweet Music" and "Forward Motion" didn't make that tv show reel but we dug deep to get these cuts out for you. "Music, Sweet Music" is such a lovely summer vibe, like a mix of the Blackbyrds and Stevie Wonder all rolled into 2:38 short but Sweeeeeettttt!! "Forward Motion" is a much more funkier vibe which almost sounds it could be a new wave funk record! Really kicks in after the opening horn bars with rasping drums and melodies. Audio - The Ellis Hall Group - Music, Sweet Music Audio - The Ellis Hall Group - Forward Motion Artist The Ellis Hall Group A-"Music, Sweet Music" B-"Forward Motion" SDE 69 Label Ellis Hall Records Format 45rpm The full line up from these recordings are Ellis Hall Jr (Keyboards/Vocals) Patty Unitas (Vocals) Pat Thomas (Vocals) David Fuller (Drums/Vocals) Michael Thompson (Guitar) Stanley Benders (Percussion) Pre-order and more details https://superdiscoedits.bigcartel.com/product/the-ellis-hall-group-music-sweet-music-45rpm-pre-order

Rare Singles - Benjamin Myers 'A tale of soul music and second chances' First posted in our soul music news section back in January (tap to view) the book 'Rare Singles' by Benjamin Myers (described as 'a love letter to Northern Soul') is officially published today (1st August 2024) The book has had many 'positive' reviews from the 'Mainstream' since then, however some of our members have already expressed 'concerns' about the 'validity' of the book and some have stated that perhaps a 'wait and see' approach before purchase may be best As such a Kindle preview is now available below (via our built in kindle preview feature) which may be of assistance for those who are waiting to pull the trigger on a purchase, you can find it below, just tap the image of the cover for it to launch.. Book Info Bloomsbury has acquired Rare Singles, a "full-throated hymn to the sorrows and triumphs of soul music" from author Benjamin Myers. From the Back Cover Dinah has always lived in Scarborough. Trapped with her feckless husband and useless son, her one release comes at her town's Northern Soul nights, where she gets to put on her best and lose herself in the classics. Dinah has an especial hero: Bucky Bronco, who recorded a string of soul gems in the late Sixties and then vanished off the face of the earth. When she manages to contact Bucky she can't believe her luck. Over in Chicago, Bucky Bronco is down on his luck – and has been since the loss of his beloved wife. The best he can hope for is to make ends meet, and try and stay high. But then an unexpected invitation arrives, from someone he’s never met, to come to somewhere he’s never heard of. About the Author Benjamin Myers was born in Durham in 1976.
