Having been brought up as much on albums as singles, it is a
natural progression for Kent to make a 12" version of our
"Masterpieces Of Modern Soul" CD series. The Modern soul
fan is used to wielding 12" of plastic in various forms and our
latest Kent LP is aimed squarely at them.
We have lifted a fantastic LP-only track from theSpring album
by Act 1, 'It's The Same Old Story', one of the most catchy,
melodious songs of the era and as a Ray Godfrey Spring
production it is high quality. The same source provides the
Millie Jackson LP track 'If That Don't Turn You On'; inevitably
raunchy - but clean!
The Mayberry Movement were on sister label Event and we
have their smooth and addictive 'Two Wrongs Don't Make A
Right', unreleased until Kent issued it. On the pricey side we
feature Eddie Billups' anthem 'Shake Off That Dream'. Scarce
is more the word for Gail Anderson's Dor release 'Just A Little
Ugly' which is anything but and stablemates Natural
Resources have a recently discovered find, 'If There Were No
You': it would have been the buzz of the Mecca a few decades
earlier. Into the 80s we go with a 60s legend: Dave Hamilton,
whose later recordings are proving to be as highly admired as
his tracks from the golden era of 60s soul. Nightchill's 'I Don't
Play Games' sounds like a hit to me and the New Experience's
pleading 'I've Never Felt This Way Before' is one for those who
like to sympathise with a bit of anguish. Darondo provides
another gem of west coast soul from his own special
perspective.
The Hesitations' GWP recording is as polished and
professional as ever and there is more top harmony from
Street People with a previously unissued track from their first
recording session.
There had to be a teaser. After reissuing Herman Davis' 'Gotta
Be Loved' we discovered a brilliant unissued Part 2 to the
highly collectable single. It had been abandoned before the
45s' pressing but now rounds off an LP that will grace those
large and overburdened LP shelves of the modern soul Kent
fans.
