The selection reflects the acceptance of differing R&B
styles among its followers; there is a broad ten-year time
span between releases. Monster or maybe mammoth
tracks include Mike Pedicin's 'Burnt Toast And Black
Coffee', Luther Ingram's 'Oh Baby Don't You Weep',
Gladys Bruce's 'I've Got a Feeling For You Baby' and the
Charmaines' 'I Idolize You'. All of those selections are
stone-cert floor-fillers and the latter trio are exclusives.
Two tracks have yet to make it to the New Breed CD series
although they are heavily pencilled-in. Prince Conley's
'Hard Times (Every Dog's Got His Day)' was recorded for
Stax's first incarnation, Satellite records, around 1961 but
didn't come out until an Ace CD featured it in 1995; it's a
bit of a sleeper! New York street musician Sterling Magee
once featured in a U2 video but his mid-60s recordings for
Jesse Stone and Al Sears were the real highlights of his
career. 'You're Supreme' has only appeared on an Arock
Story CD until now. Johnny Gosey's 'Double Locks', tells a
terrific tale of rent trouble and, like the Conley and Magee
tracks, this is its first waxing.
The BB King, Bobby Mitchell, Johnny "Guitar" Watson and
Albert Washington tracks are all now looked on as New
Breed classics guaranteed dance action when the needle
hits.
Two more Kent exclusives came out in 2008; Gladys
Bruce's 'I've Got A Feeling For You Baby' and Barbara
Perry's 'A Man Is A Mean Thing' both livened up the
burgeoning New Breed scene. The Phillips Sisters' Ike &
Tina-esque 'Where Did You Stay Last Night' is one you can
actually find on an original release, as is Austin Taylor's
quirky and catchy 'Why O Why' - but it'll cost ya!
