Shades of Sorrow Vol. 3 - Rare Chicano & Blue Eyed Soul Ballads
razadelsoul posted an article in Soul Music News
THIRD SHADES OF SORROW INCITES CULT FOLLOWING! Shades of Sorrow Vol. 3 - Rare Chicano & Blue Eyed Soul Ballads Photo of Riccardo & The 4 Most NOW AVAILABLE FOR DISTRIBUTION WHOLESALE OR DIRECT FOR PRE-ORDER SHIPS & IN STORES ON OR BEFORE 10/15/24 There’s A Reason - Riccardo & The 4 Most - Private press on the group’s own Foremost Records out of New York 1967, made up of an interracial Black and White group including bandleader Riccardo Wright (guitar), Ralph Marotta (bass), George Leary (drums), Douglas Jacobs (organ) and Bill White who wrote and sung lead. Slow and low, group harmony “oohs” that’ll have you sitting close to that special someone in your life. Yes I’m Ready - The Lost Legend - This rola is fits perfectly alongside I’ll Search The World by The Intentions with mariachi vibrato horns that breathes life into this Barbara Mason classic about an innocent love, and making memories all over again! Stay With Me - Me And Him Duo - This rola was recorded by organ player Phil Long (me) and drummer John Hill (him) from Philly, PA on PAZA, as noted by this rola’s heavy organ licks and Phil Long pleading with a broken heart “Stay With Me”. Phil Long pours his guts out to the point that she’d be a fool to not take this man back in his arms again! Bleak Street - Mike McCain - The Shades of Sorrow series would not be complete without a heavy record or two. What sounds to be in part inspired by James Brown’s “It’s A Man’s World” with its own take of a heavy horn section, a sax solo filled with sorrow and a cold dark tale down a bleak street. Recorded privately in 1970 on Tiki Records out of Texas. Its flip is a dancer (Not featured on this comp) that lightens up the mood titled “Someday”. I’ll Search The World - The Intentions - Most White groups tend to have more of a Rock influence but make no mistake, any collector would be fooled to think this is one of the many talented Black Harmony Groups out of Philly. This obscure rola is oozing with falsetto vocals and what sounds like a mariachi vibrato horn backing. Believed to be the same Intentions out of Middletown, PA who recorded a killer mid tempo Group Harmony rola titled “Don't Forget That I Love You” on Phillips. -H/M NOW AVAILABLE FOR DISTRIBUTION WHOLESALE OR DIRECT FOR PRE-ORDER SHIPS & IN STORES ON OR BEFORE 10/15/24 BUY DIRECT HERE! https://oracionrecordsdist.bandcamp.com/ WHOLESALE CONTACT BELOW: Jose Manuel Valle "The Homeboy Mad" Raza del Soul Record Distribution, Shop & Label (408) 661-2604 WhatsApp Me! razadelsoul@gmail.com @razadelsoul https://linktr.ee/razadelsoul Zelle: (408) 661-2604 Venmo: @razadelsoul CashApp: $razadelsoul -

Napoleon Demps - Remedy - Sweet Soul From Flint, Michigan

Napoleon Demps - Remedy - Sweet Soul From Flint, Michigan TITLE / ARTIST: Remedy - Napoleon Demps LABEL: Industry Music Group CATALOG NUMBER: IMG-1023 GENRE: R&B/Soul, Low-rider Oldies, Souldies, Flint, Michigan Flint, Michigan, a majority Black town just 66 miles northwest of Motown, caught attention in 2014 for its water lead contamination crisis being neglected by city and state officials. But out of challenging circumstances, arises the "remedy"! Today's Southern Soul, is a distinct modern take on R&B embraced by grown and sexy folks from the Black community in the Deep South. Although Northern boy Napoleon, didn’t quite get the best of reviews from Daddy B Nice's SouthernSoulRNB.com for his Southern Soul with a Twist Vol. 2 Compilation (2017). But just as Napoleon said when he responded in a letter to Daddy B Nice, I too "must respectfully disagree". His titles "What Don’t Kill Me", "Get Together One More Time", and "Real Love" embody authenticity of the Soul expression. Napoleon Demps quietly released a Funk title for Daptone Records titled, "Norma Jean" during the pandemic (2020) but remained on the shelf during the exploding Soul scene catapulted by the Raza. Now cutting records for IMG, Soul brotha Napoleon Demps can now be embraced by a larger than life audience that is is obsessed with heart felt Soul ballads while supported by killer production the Raza and record collectors everywhere desire! "Remedy" is a firme rola accompanied by a music video about gaming a female that's stuck with a man that, "won't treat you right, he wanna fuss and fight, he makes you cry, baby that ain't right, you sit by your phone, but you're still alone, your heart needs a new home... you know I got the remedy!" And let's just say, as far as the new thriving scene of rolas pressed on wax is concerned, Mr. Demp's first name reigns true! Shaoooooh! A: Click Here to Listen! -

Private Press - What Does It Really Mean ?

Private Press - What Does It Really Mean ?
razadelsoul replied to Raremusicdirect's topic in Look At Your Box
I would say that this is relevant to what I said, a private press is not a record label in its traditional form. Although a private press may carry a label name, its usually generic displaying the band's name, something the band just came up with or to your point maybe the church name or some other name. Its basically any release that is self released. Not to be confused with say small indie labels which is in the business of releasing or selling other people's music. -
Private Press - What Does It Really Mean ?
razadelsoul replied to Raremusicdirect's topic in Look At Your Box
A private pressing is not an indie label, exactly. Its a record pressed by the band/artist. Usually a a private press "record label" is generic and is 100% funded and released by the band/artist, and never bothers signing other acts. This is what makes private press different from an indie label press. An indie label signs multiple acts and strives to become a bigger label. A private press is just a band or artist that is not gonna wait around for a label and self fund their own music. -
