| It's amazing that in
this day and age, some record companies keep faith with vinyl,
and I'm so glad that they do. Whilst I appreciate all the
advantages of CDs, there's nothing like holding a piece of vinyl
in your hands before you put it on the deck.
So here are the reviews of the
latest vinyl releases. |
|
 |
Kent Select – Candi Staton – One More Hurt / Do Right Woman – City 020 Both tracks taken from the double CD of her Fame recordings, and both previously unreleased. If you haven’t bought the CD, buy this single, and then go and buy the CD !
|
 |
Kent Select – The Paramount Four – Sorry Ain’t The Word / James Carpenter – (Marriage Is Only) A State Of Mind – City 021 The Paramount Four was originally only available as a 100 Club Anniversary single (6T 26), so here it is for those of you that couldn’t get to the Anniversary. The James Carpenter side is taken from the ‘Dave Hamilton Detroit Dancers’ CD, and that should be recommendation enough.

Kent Select – J T Rhythm – My Sweet Baby / O C Tolbert – All I Want Is You – City 022 J T Rhythm is an alternate cut that was originally made available on the aforementioned Dave Hamilton CD, and the O C Tolbert is from the same place as well.
|
 |
Kent Select - Jackie Lee – Anything You Want / Trust Me – City 023 Two great Jackie Lee tracks that are available, legitimately, for the first time on lovely chunky 7” black vinyl.. Obviously both drawn from that heaven sent repository of Northern Soul, Mirwood Records.
|
 |
Kent – The Hytones – Good News / Young Brothers – What’s Your Game – Town 141 Previously only available as a 100 Club Anniversary single, The Hytones has been picking up quite a lot of plays recently, so when paired up with the incredibly rare Young Brothers track, makes a sure fire winner.

 |
Kent – Trini Lopez – Sinner Not A Saint / Johnny Copeland – No Puppy Love – Town 142 R & B ? Latin ? Good dancer ? Make your own mind up for this Trini Lopez track, which like the previous release has seen quite a lot of turntable action over the last few months. You have tro go right back to the beginning of Kent records to find the Johnny Copeland Track. 1987 in fact and the second Kent album.

 |
Tommy Tate – If You Got To Love Somebody / Luther Ingram – Trying To Find My Love – Town 143 Two Ko Ko label recordings here from what were arguably the stars of the label. Both nice ‘70s dancers as well. So if that’s your thing, add this to your collection as soon as possible

 |
Kent / Mirwood EP – Jackie Lee – Oh My Darlin’ / The Olympics – I’ll Do A Little Bit More // The Mirettes – He’s Alright With Me / Bobby Garrett – Keep It Coming – LTDEP 011 The third in the series of ‘The Stars of’ EPs, and what a cracker it is. Two previously unreleased tracks, and two great recordings that saw release back in the Sixties. Nicely presented with a full colour sleeve and a copy of the Mirwood label on the vintyl. Limited in numbers as well, so buy one when you see it.
