Description
RARE BREED R&B The Lost Years This unique set brings together a treasure trove of R&B rarities enshrined by the $3,000 “Lookin’ For My Baby�, recorded by The Nightriders in 1959 for Juggy Murray’s Sue imprint. Murray had co-founded Sue Records two years earlier with fellow New Yorker Bobby Robinson whose Fire label provides us with the equally compelling “Keep A’Calling� by Paul Perryman (side 1, track 1), a snip at only $300! The set bursts into life with Vernon Harrell’s hot dance ticket “Slick Chick�, currently commanding a cool $400 on its original Lescay label. Northern Soul fans will be interested to know that Harrell co-wrote “Seven Days Too Long� with J R Bailey (aka Chuck Wood) and “Sweet Sweet Lovin’� for The Platters. Mike Robinson (“Lula�) also has a tenuous Northern Soul connection, he was originally in Bobby Thomas’ Vibranaires before joining the Orioles alongside the legendary Sonny Til. BOTH Earl King’s make the playlist: Earl “Connelly� with his hard “Every Whicha Kinda Way� and the New Orleans native Earl King with “Darling Honey Angel Child�, an early prototype of the standard “Come On�. Look out too for rare soul sweetheart Baby Washington, “Medicine Man�. A Collection to Treasure…
