The Stones first EP finally reissued in its original format for the first time! Back in 1963 The Rolling Stones were driving audiences wild all over the UK with their covers of American R&B songs. They covered tunes by Chuck Berry, Arthur Alexander and many more, and developed their own sound in the process. Despite their success, the girls losing it and the angry dudes waiting for them after their shows, their label still felt like they needed to test the waters before they would commit to an album. The result was their self titled EP released on 7" as a mono recording in 1964. - Reviewed by Michu Meszaros / Turntablelab.com
Warmly soulful sounds from Chicago deep house icon Glenn Underground – who continues to masterfully translate dancefloor-tailored soundscapes into the full length album format – and does it with a compelling vibe that leaves a lot of his contemporaries in the dust! Glenn is great simply on the dancefloor tip, but he goes well beyond the call of duty by bringing in a wealth of jazzy and soulful instrumentation. So, along with the percolating beats and insistent rhythms, you get these sax solos and other brass goodness, some brilliant keyboard grooves and lots more. Dancefloor soul with an uncommon depth! Includes "Calor (Heat)", "For The Love Of Money", "Master Fuze", "Scenic Route", "The Band Played On" "DiscoSucks (Interlude)", "Going Bananas (Gorilla Interlude)", "Service", "AfterHours", "Reckless Art" and more. ~ Dusty Groove
Kelli Sae's really come a long way since we first started digging her vocals years ago – growing from a soulful singer with a jazzy vibe to a richly visionary artist with a great ear for the bigger picture too! Kelli wrote, arranged, and produced the whole set – and it bursts forward with positive energy right from the start – a magnificently mature vibe that really gives other contemporary soul singers a run for their money! Nona Hendryx guests on one track, and some of the others on the set have a Nona-like love of electric guitar – some nice fuzzy touches used alongside the more expected beats and keyboards, which really furthers the energy of the set. Titles include "Mask", "No Good", "Warrior", "Son Of A Gun", "Shot Me", "Nothing But A Fool", "White Rabbit", "Call Me", "Come Over", and "Urgency". ~ Dusty Groove
