HISTORY OF SOUL RECORDS, 2021 LP
RECORD STORE DAY EXCLUSIVE Edition of 500; black vinyl. 
In New York, the shape of African-American music was changing in 1970. 
Funk was now the thing. Groups like the Isley Brothers and Kool & The Gang were leading the charge and almost everyone was following, as can be heard on most of the tracks here. 
The structure of the music business was altering as well. Prominent independent record labels like Veep, Diamond, and Amy that had featured strongly in previous LPs in this series, had already closed their doors, while other large concerns such as Musicor, Jubilee, Kapp and Shout were on their last legs. 
But despite this we've still been able to find 17 stunning soul songs to populate this album. And while funky rhythms predominate there is still room for mainstream soul, sweet soul and group harmonies to savor. 
Singers move from the rightly celebrated such as Garnett Mimms and Marva Whitney to the obscure Lee Jackson and Beverly Hammonds. But all of them demonstrate the power and prestige of Big Apple music at its best. 
Also features Swordsmen, Jay Morton, Jive Fyve, Honey & Bees, Rudy Mockabee, Garnet Mimms, Geraldine Hunt, Frankie Newsome, Bobby Reed, Vic Marcel, Hoagy Lands & Lillie Fields, and Vandals.
