THE KINKS - KONTROVERY ’65 Japanese SHM-CD Collection (1964-1984) [Japan 2010-13]@320

http://www29.zippyshare.com/v/28552973/file.html
CD2
http://www29.zippyshare.com/v/42364477/file.html
A criminally underrated masterpiece from The Kinks "Kinks Kontroversy" seemed like just another Kinks album when it was released but songwriter Ray Davies had continued to develop his craft with this album which is (with the exception of the opening track "Milk Cow Blues") the first Kinks album filled completely with Davies originals.
This deluxe reissue does a terrific job of bringing the album its just due; remastered by Andrew Sandoval and Dan Hersch (who worked on the deluxe "Village Green")the two disc set may on the surface seem like the least generous of the reissues to date; we get the original mono album on disc one (I'm assuming the stereo masters are missing as this is the only one of the first three albums NOT to include both or they are so badly damaged that they can't be used)making for a relatively short first CD. All 12 songs on the first disc have punch and sound quite good--they may be a bit louder than the original CD pressing but (to me)it's clear that as usual Sandoval and Hersch did their research and found the best possible tapes for this reissue.
Disc two has the songs from singles and EP's on it. The 1998 CD reissue only had four bonus tracks. This edition quadruples the original bonus tracks and puts them all on the second disc. We get all four from the previous edition plus a more recently discovered alternate take of "Mr Reporter" with Ray's lead vocal on it, the outtake "Time Will Tell", a demo "All Night Stand", five BBC session songs (along with brief interviews with the late Pete Quaife and with Ray)and "And I Will Love You" a previously unreleased EP track.
Also included are alternate takes for "Dedicated Follower of Fashion", "I'm Not Like Everybody Else" as well as the original mono single versions of each of those songs. "Sittin on My Sofa" is carried over from the previous edition.
We also get a deluxe booklet with photos, info on each track as well as sleeve notes discussing the making of the album (and also why drummer Mick Avory doesn't appear on most of it)with splenty of quotes sprinkled throughout from Ray and Dave's separate books.
The packaging is quite nice although it looks like the digipak accordian style sleeve has the hard plastic exterior that most of the deluxe editions have had in the past, this one doesn't--it's a style in the same style that seals the packging.
Highly recommended.

Clarence 'Gatemouth' Brown Dirty Work At The Crossroads 1947-1953 @320
http://www5.zippyshare.com/v/19820012/file.html
The great Clarence "Gatemouth" Brown developed into the very template for gritty Americana, taking on almost every corner of American roots music with his guitar, fiddle, and charismatic stage presence, but in his earliest recordings, the ones collected here when he was recording for Peacock Records in the 1940s and 1950s, he was more of a T-Bone Walker-inspired guitar wizard slashing through what could only be called electric Texas blues. This is vintage and explosive stuff. (Allmusic)
28 examples of the scorching guitar work of Clarence 'Gatemouth' Brown ? one of the most influential guitarists from the Texas school, influenced himself by T-Bone Walker. These, his earliest recordings spanning 1947 through 1953 were equally influential of the next generation of guitarists. Albert Collins, Johnny Winter, The Fabulous Thunderbirds and Stevie Ray Vaughan were all influenced by these seminal recordings.

J.J. BARNES - The Groovesville Masters (Goldmine Soul Supply CD)
CD1
http://www74.zippyshare.com/v/88261911/file.html
CD2
http://www74.zippyshare.com/v/71307952/file.html
You would think 38 tracks on two CDs would be definitive for an obscure soul singer, but not in this case. J.J. Barnes had three recordings that achieved a modicum of success in the States; two of them -- "Day Tripper" and "the Errol Flynn" -- didn't make this set because they're products of other labels. The biggest record he appeared on was "I'll Love You Forever" as a member of the Holidays, with Edwin Starr on lead and Barnes and Steve Mancha providing backing vocals. The three never toured as the Holidays; subsequent Holidays recordings had completely different members. Barnes' biggest, "Baby Please Come Back Home," is a Marvin Gaye sound-alike with a staccato beat, memorable lyrics, and Barnes' incessant pleading. An a cappella version, also included, is strictly filler. He recorded before this song, and cut many tunes after it, but never came up with another as good. "Sweet Sherry" features the Originals as much as Barnes; it's a lilting beauty that should have done better, but never surfaced in the States. Barnes is a big favorite with European soul lovers; his tunes usually fit the four-on-the-floor beat they love. "Please Let Me In," "Snowflakes," "Chains," "Now That I Got You Back," and "Our Love Is in the Pocket" are Northern soul classics. Produced by Don Davis. (Allmusic)

SAM COOKE & THE SOUL STIRRERS @320
http://www66.zippyshare.com/v/19675676/file.html
While Sam Cooke certainly made beautiful music in the pop realm, his greatest sides were those made with the Soul Stirrers. When Cooke joined the group in 1950 at the age of 19, he'd already spent 4 years singing with the Highway Q.C.'s. The Soul Stirrers lead singer, R.H. Harris, who quit just before Cooke's arrival, had spent almost 25 years molding the group into gospel stardom through an innovative use of two lead singers matched with utmost energy and sophistication. Cooke initially sang in a style similar to Harris's, but soon took off into his own unearthly realm, writing spine-tingling songs like "Nearer to Thee," "Mean Old World," and the brilliant "Touch the Hem of His Garment," then singing them in his soaring, inimitable style with perfect control of phrasing and enunciation. This is an awesome collection, a record to listen to many, many times--to grow old with. Save it for those days when you need absolute proof that true grace does exist. --Mike McGonigal
Sam Cooke was one of the most original and influential vocal stylists of all time. Hear him in all his glory (1951-1955) when he was singing with one of the greatest of all gospel groups-the Soul Stirrers. 25 tracks-several previously unissued.

Thank you RYP and Gyro! The Gatemouth Brown set is especially interesting.

Thanks Gyro! Unfortunately, I am having trouble with errors on CD1 of The Kinks' "Kontroversy". Please advise.
