(1982, Missouri. Homemade-look micropress by conscious-blackness artists on shortlived
conscious-blackness label; songwriter/AOR with some jazz moves -- vocals, piano and
acoustic bass. If I try to come up with something that it sounds like, I think of John
Martyn or Peter Hammill, and that isn't much help... but it's sorta vaguely like some-
thing along those lines. Kinda.)

JACKIE LEE - The Duck Mirwood (USA) MW 7000 (MONO) VG/@VG+ 10
(WLP? Mirwoods usually had a blue label, I think; this one's white. Chunky dancepop/soul
w/Motown-ish groove. It's about a mover, but it starts to seem kinda one-dimensional and
samey after awhile. Dancing In The Streets, Do You Love Me, Land Of 1000 Dances... RSOC.)

NEW JERSEY MASS CHOIR - Live At The Ritz (2LP) Savoy SGL 7086 VG+/NMx2 7

LOU RAWLS - Carryin' On! Capitol (USA) ST 2632 stVG++/@VG++ 10
(Mid-60's R&B; punchy, uptempo 'mod' dancers alternate with slower, blues-flavored
tunes. Big band-style horn charts, aggressively jazzy piano... Covers of "Yesterday"
and ... uh... something else worth making note of.Produced by DAVID AXELROD)
JAMES RAY - S/T Caprice 1002 (MONO) stVG++/NM- 60

IRMA THOMAS - The New Rules Rounder 2046 NM--/NM 7
THREE DEGREES - S/T Philadelphia International KZ 32406 VG++/stVG++ 8
(1973, Gamble & Huff proto-disco with a funk-lite rhythm section and *** those strings***.
LP includes "When Will I See You Again", which I think was their one big hit.)
NEW!! 6/24 JOHNNY THUNDER - Loop De Loop Diamond (USA) D 5001 (MONO) VG+/VG++ 50
(Early soul with one foot still in the 50's -- appropriate blend of dancers, ballad & midtempo.

of a young Smokey. Teddy Vann produced.)

Keep Sittin' On It)" etc. )
V/A - Gus Gossert Collector's Album First Edition (10" lp)
Jukebox (USA) no number NM-/stVG++ 12
(Well-known 60's/70's NYC dj/archivist throws out some goldies... Flat zero in the way of
liner notes, but 12 tracks, presumably big-time rarities, incl. AVALONS, NOBLES, SHELLS,
LARKS, VERNALLS, SONICS, YOUNGTONES and others. "Crime Don't Pay" by Nobles
stands out -- singer robs a bank, gets arrested, tried and thrown in jail -- all in four-part
harmony with sound effects.)
V/A - The Hitter OST Capitol (USA) SW-11920 VG++/NM- 8
(1979, blaxploitation-type movie, couple years after the trend had subsided... Disco/funk

Mostly straight-up postwar acoustic blues, with three ringers (boogie-woogie, jump-blues
instro, 1957 rock&roll&b...) Big Boy Crudup, Washboard Sam, Sonny Boy Williamson, etc. Nice
collection.)
V/A - Red White & Blues Rosetta (USA) RR1302. @VG++/NM 7
(Issued @1980, collection of blues-gals doing blues. Kinda haphazard selection,
tracks from 1927 to 1961. Billie Holiday and Ella Fitzgerald aren't exactly ob-
scure, but at least there are three solid tracks from the 20's; those are nice
to have around. And the 30's tracks are pretty neat as well. 1" sspl.)
- Rock And Roll Dance Party Guest Star S 1406 stVG++/stVG 16
(F LYMON & TEENAGERS, others.)
