a great collection of songs from soul singer & songwriter barbara brown.

14 tracks drawn from the modern and kent labels of los angeles.

it s been a while since al kent the scottish disco guy released anything on his own label. but since he s celebrating 20 years of million dollar disco in 2019 this seems like the perfect time to rectify that. following on the heels of a string of successes for labels like gamm, razor n tape, cree and bbe, this sublime piece of disco soul has been road tested all over europe and beyond, with each play getting the same massively positive reaction and a queue of punters dying to know what the hell they ve just danced to! so it s probably a good idea to make this available on a super limited one sided pressing so even more people can dance to it

the new album from julia kent on black vinyl with cd-copy included.

comes in resealable bag with a5 postcard designed by fallon does and mana x queeste sticker.

a collection of maxine brown’s finest wand recordings.

a collection of classic northern soul rarities from the 60s to early 70s.

the northern soul’s classiest rarities series has showcased high quality soul dance records from the 60s to the early 70s, beloved of collectors and dancers who have had their fill of the “top 500”.

a vinyl album containing the dozen solo tracks mary recorded for modern in the 60s and two gospel-soul essentials from the 80s.

the first ep with mr al kent did so good we just had to make a follow up... just like on the first ep we stick to the formula with a lush mid-tempo philly jam on the a side, over on the b, banging it out with a big disco stomper. together you get a 12inch that combines the best of both worlds one for the warm up / end of the night sessions and another for the peak hours. a seriously good value 12inch release

following their successful collaboration track on body 2:2 mind compilation, dorisburg & efraim kent confirm their elegant approach with 3 next level tracks for tikita.

eddie parker cut his northern soul anthems ‘i’m gone’ and ‘love you baby’ indetroitin the late 60s, showing there was life after pied piper for jack ashford and lorraine chandler. intense energy, grit and soul are the hallmarks of these seminal sides.

tutti hill’s ‘when the going gets rough’ was listed on the label of her arock single in 1964 but the record actually played ‘whoa whoa, baby take it slow’. at last this gorgeous mid-tempo dancer from ron miller and lee porter makes it to 45. the flip is a piano and voice demo from the same stable but garrett saunders’ magnificent baritone makes the song a must-have. what a pity he did not record more.

the checkerboard squares’ ‘double cookin’’ is a byword for the northern soul all-nighters of the 70s, when hundreds of dancers would hit the beat and clap in unison to the spirited instrumental. our discovery of two vocal versions of the song shook the rare soul world in the noughties. here we feature the tandels’ all-girl take on a song they had previously recorded to a more basic arrangement on the obscure jam-cha label.

two more recent 70s, modern soul-style discoveries were issued last year on the “hotlanta soul 4” kent cd. lorraine johnson verified that the sumptuous vocals on ‘a love like yours’ were indeed hers, though again the author of the song is unknown. deep velvet give a much more harmonious take on ripple’s ‘complain to the clouds’, transforming it from a funk growl into a true soul song.

we have already released the longer version of the northern classic ‘gone with the wind is my love’, but this kent 45 of rita & the tiaras’ masterpiece is the first time we have issued the doré single as it was originally put out. on the flip is the glorious instrumental version for lovers of that la orchestral soul sound.

‘this is my chance’ lay dormant until the 90s, when it was included on the ace cd “the heart of southern soul vol 3”. that series was aimed at ballad fans but art gentry’s mid-tempo gem proved ideal for the modern soul dance scene. a 12-inch promo issued at the time is now an in-demand piece of vinyl. mystery surrounds who wrote shirley brown’s ‘even if the signs are wrong’ but this splendid, lilting soul song deserves a vinyl release.

stilove4music regulars al kent & devin dare met in nyc a few years ago for a very exclusive disco party celebrating the birthday of one of their biggest disco heroes. waltered states is the fruit of this meeting in the big apple. it just needed to come out on wax.

gamm welcomes one of our favourite edit masters of all time, mr al kent.

needing very little introduction here is soulful scotsman al kent, who delivers the dirty goods for his first outing on rnt. good inside and 4006 are a pair of dusty reworks, as gritty and groovy as you like. but the prize of this ep might just be come back home, the crown jewel of his decade-earlier secret sounds collection, finally getting a proper vinyl for the first time ever!
