| Booker T. And The M.G.s - Green Onions Propelled by Booker T. Jones' smoky organ and the funky guitar bursts of Steve Cropper, "Green Onions"—the first chart-topper by Booker T. & The MG's—slithered across the 1962 airwaves, followed immediately by an album every bit as savory. Hot on the heels of that first MG's smash, here's a second helping, "Mo' Onions," as well as the exquisite pop delights of "Stranger On The Shore" and the unsurpassed after-hours smolder of "Behave Yourself." The original Green Onions LP by the peerless Booker T. & The MG's: exact reproduction available now from SUNDAZED on High-Definition Vinyl, mastered from the absolute vintage analog tapes, and so lip-smacking delicious it'll make you cry. |

| Bookert T & The MGs - Play The Hip Hits "I'm shocked that some of these things didn't get released...Man I could have used these things...we could have just put this out...That would have been the perfect album!" Steve Cropper in an interview with Rob Bowman, 1994, when he heard these tracks again We were one of the few bands that were popular covering other people's songs says Booker T. He's right. With the exception of their second LP Soul Dressing, Booker T & The MGs albums were (indeed, are) predominantly composed of cover material. During their years at Stax, the group acted as session house band for innumerable stars, including everyone from southern soul giant Otis Redding to blues legend Albert King. They played almost continuously, often tacking short sessions of their own on to star sessions that had either finished early or started late. Some of the material found its way on to their own many albums, but much of it was put on the shelf and forgotten about in their hectic recording schedules. When MGs guitarist Steve Cropper heard a tape of this collection of 25 previously unissued tracks he said: I'm shocked that some of these didn't get released. I think we just forgot them. I think they were just back on the shelf and nobody took the time (to ever listen to them again). Man I could have used these things, I guarantee you. There was a time when we needed a record and Booker wouldn't record, we could have put this out. We had the rights to the stuff. That would have been a perfect album!Cropper's assessment is spot on and Stax, instrumental, and just plain Booker T & The MGs fans are in for a real treat. Thanks to the Stax Sessions series and the diligent tape research by Ace's Roger Armstrong, a beautiful slice of 1960s soul history is finally brought back to life. |

| Brenda Holloway - The Early Years - Rare Recordings 1962-1963 We’ve always known that Brenda Holloway was not your run-of-the-mill Motown diva. One of the imprint’s first signings from outside Detroit and its environs, Brenda grew up far from the frigid temperatures and blizzards that forged the harder-edged personalities and steely determination of Hitsville’s homegrown artists. This California girl exuded a sunny, laid-back persona light years from the fiery Ross or Reeves. Something else set Brenda apart. Her first Tamla release, ‘Every Little Bit Hurts’, and its subsequent LP spotlight a smooth, self-assured vocalist, oozing confidence and maturity that was clearly lacking in the early efforts of, say, the Supremes and the Marvelettes. Not quite 18, Brenda hit the spotlight with her artistry fully-developed, denying us the fun of hearing her fumble around in search of her style, an experience that makes the early waxings of Diana, Martha and Mary Wells so charming. What we didn’t know then was that Brenda had already served a prolific, two-year apprenticeship in the studios of L.A. A few of these early sides have leaked out over the years but now, thanks to Mick Patrick and the archaeologists at Ace, “The Early Years: Rare Recordings 1962-1963” offers an opportunity to witness Brenda cutting her teeth in a variety of styles. Think of it as “Meet Brenda Holloway”. Among the impossibly rare treasures: two doo-woppy demos believed to be the 15-year-old’s first crack at the mic, one (‘He’s Gone’) also the first recording evidence of the songwriting talent that eventually put ‘You’ve Made Me So Very Happy’ into the Great American Songbook. Brenda’s first release, ‘Hey Fool’, finds her rocking out with a radically tougher attitude than fans have heard before. Her obscure second single, ‘The Game Of Love’, a frothy girl-group confection, is here alongside more unheard demos, rare 45s and duets with three different male partners. On various songs, Brenda wails, belts, testifies and coos, trying on the styles of Tina Turner, Etta James, the Marvelettes, the Chantels and, of course, her idol Mary Wells. We also hear Brenda chiming in on background as a member of the Watesians, the Four J’s and the Carrolls (probably all the same group), and, most significantly, backing up her sister, the late, legendary Patrice, on ‘Do The Del Viking’, which the sisters wrote. The CD closes with the demo of ‘Every Little Bit Hurts’, presumably sung by Barbara Wilson to the same backing track as the eventual hit. When Brenda added her vocal to the song, she was more than ready for her shot at the big time. How great it is that we can now eavesdrop as she perfects that trademark emotional magic. Needless to say, the CD is accompanied by the traditional well-worth-the-price booklet with an essay on the tracks by Mr Patrick and photos that more than explain why a certain teenage boy was driven to a hormonal frenzy when I saw Brenda Holloway perform at the Apollo. Her Motown Anthology has long been a pleasure. This one feels like a privilege. by DENNIS GARVEY (Ace Records) |

| Carla Thomas - Carla Sundazed is proud to announce the reissue of two soul albums from 1966-’67 by one of the most respect-ed female singers of any era:The Queen Alone and Carla by Carla Thomas. All are exact reproductions of these legendary albums on audiophile High-Definition Vinyl, cut directly from the original Stax analog masters. 1967’s As shown on Carla and The Queen Alone, Carla Thomas was to Memphis’ Stax Records what Aretha was to Atlantic: the label’s reigning matriarch, able to wrap her glorious voice around “B-A-B-Y” and “Let Me Be Good To You,” chart-toppers from the precocious songwriting team of Isaac Hayes and David Porter, as well as R&B standards like Willie Dixon’s “Little Red Rooster.” Backed by the Stax house combo, fronted by Booker T. and Steve Cropper, Carla also shows off her storied versatility with knockout renderings of “I’m So Lonesome I Could Cry” and “I Fall To Pieces.” |

| Contours - Dance With The Contours Featuring unissued Motown Recordings 1963-1964. They may not have had the silky skills of some of my later Motown favourites, but their raucous invitations to dance remain as potent now as they did almost 50 years ago. It goes without saying that I’m delighted to have been involved in Kent’s new expanded version of their never-issued 1964 Gordy album “Dance With The Contours” featuring the 12 originally-scheduled tracks and a further dozen from the vaults, all recorded during the same time frame. Of the 26 tracks, 24 have never been issued in any form until now. How great is that? There’s nothing subtle about lead Contour Billy Gordon’s gargles-with-razorblades holler, and songs about the Uncle Willie, Crossfire, Limbo, See Saw and other fly-by-night dance crazes are hardly going to win Ivor Novello Awards, but factor in some agreeably rough and ready vocal harmonies and season with a bunch of cracking vintage Motown backing tracks and you have 66 minutes of dancefloor fun that just won’t quit (although the tempo occasionally slows a bit, in order to let you and the group get your breath back). A few of these cuts have circulated as poor quality bootlegs and mp3s, but everything here is drawn from fresh transfers of original Motown mastertapes – even the two previously issued sides, ‘Can You Do It’ and ‘Can You Jerk Like Me’. “Dance With The Contours” is the first of several officially approved Motown releases that are coming your way on Kent. Forget art. Let’s dance! By Tony Rounce (Ace Records) |

| Denise LaSalle - Making A Good Thing Better The music that came out of Stax Records pretty much defined the Memphis Sound throughout the 1960s. As the 70s dawned, the sound came to be redefined by records produced by Willie Mitchell down the road from Stax at Royal Studios. In 1971, two singles emanated from Royal that exemplified Mitchell’s new Memphis Sound and took it to the masses. One was Al Green’s ‘Tired Of Being Alone’. The other was Denise LaSalle’s ‘Trapped By A Thing Called Love’. A groundbreaking record in its time, ‘Trapped By A Thing Called Love’ remains a defining example of what Southern Soul is all about. It took Denise to the very top of the Billboard R&B chart and made her an overnight success at the age of 30, after half a dozen previous 45s had failed to even nudge that chart. Even if Denise had never scored another hit, the record would have ensured her standing as a great of the genre. Fortunately, Denise did place many other fine 45s on the R&B and Pop charts over the next few years. Although she hailed from Chicago (via Mississippi) and released her music on a Detroit-based label, Denise was a high-profile standard bearer for female Southern Soul throughout her prime chart time. For over five years, Denise’s hits were recorded for Westbound Records and all of them feature here on “Making A Good Thing Better” – surprisingly, her first-ever greatest hits compilation. Denise released 12 Westbound singles, nine of which hit the R&B charts. In the wake of ‘Trapped By A Thing Called Love’, she hit the R&B Top 5 twice in succession with ‘Now Run And Tell That’ and ‘Man Sized Job’ and almost all of her other hit singles reached the Top 30 – a measure of how popular she was at that time. Although most of her Westbound sides were cut in Memphis, she also recorded in Muscle Shoals and, towards the end of her tenure, in Detroit, the city that gave Denise her final hit for the label with the sublime ‘Married, But Not to Each Other’, a classic of the cheatin’ songs genre. Wherever she chose to record, the end product always came out as superior Southern Soul. Denise has long been overdue a singles compilation and we’re delighted to rectify that. All the tracks included here have been freshly mastered from the original Westbound production tapes. For those who want to hear Denise LaSalle at her best, singing hits that were all over the radio in the early 70s, it’s going to be an essential purchase. By Tony Rounce (Ace Records) |

| Don Covay - Super Bad The legendary songwriter (Chain of Fools) The legendary singer (he inspired Mick Jagger's vocal style) The legendary hitmaker (Mercy, Mercy / Sookie Sookie) Super Bad contains 18 songs, previously unreleased on CD in North America The career of singer Don Covay spanned virtually the entirety of the R&B spectrum, from the electrifying rock & roll of his earliest records to the gritty, swaggering deep soul of his most enduring efforts. The scope and diversity of his catalog no doubt contributed to his failure to enjoy consistent commercial success,and the general public is probably better acquainted with his songs than with his own renditions of them. His debut single, "Mercy Mercy" (accompanied by a young Jimi Hendrix on guitar), established his earthy bluesy style. Atlantic bought his contract, and several R&B & Pop hits followed. Don Covay's songs still remain successful: Aretha Franklin won a Grammy for her performance of his composition "Chain of Fools." He is a legendary composer and singer, best known for his R&B classic compositions "Mercy Mercy," "Chain of Fools," "See Saw" and "Sookie Sookie." Covay had success as a singer as Don Covay and The Goodtimers, and his compositions have been recorded by such varied artists as Steppenwolf, Bobby Womack, The Rolling Stones, Wilson Pickett, The Small Faces, and many more |

| Don Julian & The Larks - Jerk: The Money Recordings Don Julian was one of a small group of 1950s trailblazers whose career did not end with the onset of the 60s but continued with later chart success, recording and performing up to his death in 1998. Don had talents as a singer, musician, writer, arranger, producer and performer, giving him longevity in the business far beyond that of most of his peers. He gained his early musical education in high school in L.A., took piano lessons and thence "was kinda self taught...[going] from piano to guitar". He led one of the first integrated R&B vocal groups, the Meadowlarks, on Modern Records before Dootone provided West Coast success (see Ace CDCHD 552). Where others gave up, he continued to record and perform, sometimes with unexpected results - "for a long time they thought I was Hispanic... my last name sounded Spanish" - but always with determination, building extensive studio experience. With the Larks he scored a Top 10 pop dance hit in 1965 with The Jerk on Ruth Dolphin's Money Records. Don had spotted his niece doing the dance (her words, "If you don't know how to do it, I'll teach it to you", gave him the basis for the song), he cut a dub and being played on Ruth's nightly radio show had an immediate effect: "Your record is a hit! Everybody wants it!" Nationwide tours followed and they "made money", as Don put it, having "no place to spend it...[stuck] on the bus for 30 days!" This release, provides a welcome insight into Don's 60s career, focusing on The Jerk, his "Jerk" album, various Money 45s, plus 'Philly Jerk', a release from his own Jerk label (an experience which taught him "it's a lot more difficult to get played on your own label"). Most of the songs were self-penned and although many are fun R&B dance items - from Keep On Jerkin' and Do The Jerk to Slauson Shuffle, Skate, Philly Dog and Can You Do The Duck - these are interspersed with other contrasting pieces - Heavenly Father, Forget Me, Heaven Only Knows, I Want You (Back) etc. There's also evidence of inspiration sought beyond L.A., with Curtis Mayfield's You Must Believe Me and Sad Sad (Girl And) Boy. Long overdue, this provides a suitable memorial to his 60s work, focusing on a key part of his career and achievements, closing an important gap in re-releasing his material. One to get you out there - and doing 'The Jerk'. Seamus McGarvey (Ace Records) (quotes from his own interviews with Don Julian) |

| Doris Troy - I'll Do Anything - The Doris Troy Anthology 1960-1996 ’ll never understand why the term “one hit wonder” has come to be seen as pejorative. One hit is certainly one more than I ever had – how about you? Doris Troy placed only one song on the US Hot 100, but what a song! ‘Just One Look’ has endured as a much-covered standard, heard in countless movies and commercials. If that one wonderful hit is all you know of singer-songwriter-producer-arranger-session vocalist-actress Doris Troy, then here’s chance to catch up with what you missed. I’ll give you a hint – you’ve missed a lot. Doris Troy earned every hyphen. “I’ll Do Anything: The Doris Troy Anthology 1960-1996” amasses, for the first time ever, songs from every phase of a most illustrious career, ranging from her very first recording to her last. Affectionately dubbed Mama Soul, Doris Troy cut her teeth singing in church and worked as a teenaged usherette at New York’s legendary Apollo Theater before joining Cissy Houston, Dionne and Dee Warwick and Judy Clay in forming the premier New York studio backup group (two Chuck Jackson classics that feature cameos by Doris are included herein). She released two singles in 1960 as Doris Payne and a 1961 duet under the name Jay & Dee (all three make their digital debut here) before striking gold with her self-penned superhit. 10 sterling examples of her tenure with Atlantic Records comprise the heart of this set, including the irresistibly catchy ska-tinged ‘What’cha Gonna Do About It’ and ‘Please Little Angel’, co-written with a then-fledgling writing team named Ashford and Simpson. Incidentally, Doris co-wrote the song that gives this anthology its title, ‘I’ll Do Anything’, with another nascent writing combine you may have heard of named Gamble and Huff. Both sides of the ultra-rare 1967 Capitol single ‘He’s Qualified’ and ‘Face Up To The Truth’ make their CD bow here. After that release, Doris decamped to England, again becoming the go-to girl for background vocals on classic hits for Dusty Springfield, George Harrison, Pink Floyd and the Stones, to name a few. In cahoots with Harrison, she released a brilliant LP on Apple in 1970, represented on this disc by ‘Ain’t That Cute’ and ‘You Tore Me Up Inside’. Two definite high points are 1974’s Dandy Livingstone-produced reggae-inflected romp through Eddie Floyd’s ‘Don’t Tell Your Mama’ and a sparkling disco workout from 1977, ‘Can’t Hold On’, both new to CD. By this time, Doris had moved back to the States where she eventually starred in the musical based on her life, Mama I Want To Sing, written by her sister, New York radio luminary Vy Higgensen. The sisters are heard on a high-spirited duet released here for the first time anywhere. Doris’ final recording was for Ace in 1996 – ‘Hear Me Calling’, a duet with British blue-eyed soul wunderkind James Hunter. Doris’ heartfelt, gut-wrenching reading of the gospel standard ‘Take My Hand, Precious Lord’ provides a poignant and powerful coda to a poignant and powerful collection. The customary worth-the-price booklet includes rare photos and cuttings, remembrances from friends and colleagues Ady Croasdell and David Nathan, and Mick Patrick’s biographical essay drawing from a previously unpublished 1995 interview with Mama Soul herself. If you’ve only given just one look to Doris Troy, “I’ll Do Anything: The Doris Troy Anthology 1960-1996” is a golden opportunity to rectify that oversight. By Dennis Garvey (Ace Records) |
