A motherlode of rare Detroit soul – all pulled from the small Sidra label imprints, and put together here in a package that features nearly every Northern Soul groover from the company! This set goes way deeper than most Northern collections – and many of the cuts here are ones we haven't seen on other compilations, at least not in recent years – which makes the whole thing a massive discovery in music – maybe even more when you consider the nice notes and colorful package, which also features a load of rare label scans too! Titles include "We've Got Each Other" by Ronnie & Robyn, "I'm Sure" by Two Plus Two, "I Lost A Good Thing" by Gwen Owens, "So Real" by Barbara Mercer, "Please Stay" by Pearl Jones, "Let My Baby Go" by The Embraceables, "Baby You're Mine" by Lou Ragland, "How To Make A Sad Man Glad" by The Capreez, " Love's What You Want" by Marisa Gatti, "Keep On Going" by Gary Haines, "The Other Side" by 5 Of A Kind, "Open Up Your Heart" by Profonix, and "God Must Have Created Love" by Flery Bursey. © 1996-2014, Dusty Groove, Inc.

THE SPLIT SQUAD - Now Hear This…’14 @320
http://www72.zippyshare.com/v/81834824/file.html
The last few weeks at Carolina Orange have been all about living legends. This week it’s a super-group calling themselves The Split Squad and their new LP entitled Now Hear This.
The Split Squad is made up of Ed Munoz of The Plimsouls, Mike Giblin of Parallax Project, Clem Burke of Blondie, and Keith Streng of The Fleshtones (hence the reference to Living Legends). They’re joined by Josh Kantor, keyboardist extraordinaire who has the distinction of having the world’s greatest day job. He’s the organist at Fenway Park.
While not necessarily reminiscent of The Plimsouls, Fleshtones, or Blondie, The Split Squad’s Now Hear This is nonetheless a pleasing mixture of all their influences and sure to make a fan of any of these bands smile. One might use the Plimsouls’ Kool Trash, a mid 90′s “reunion” release with a denser sound than Plimsouls fans were used to as a frame of reference for this disc – maybe a sign of things to come. That line-up featured Peter Case, Eddie Munoz and Clem Burke on drums.
Giblin has written most of the material and their are great melodies and hooks a plenty. And with contributions from Scott McCaughney (Young Fresh Fellows. Minus 5), Peter Buck (REM), Hugo Burnham (Gang of Four), and Mike Gent (The Figgs), there is more collective genius in the making of this disc than any that’s come along in a very long time.
“She is Everything” is the highlight, a song with an irresistible hook and a driving beat that is immediately reminiscent of The Gang of Four’s “Armalite Rifle”. This may be the best single of 2014. “Feel The Same About You’ is a classic slice of powerpop and another favorite as well as the McCaughney/Giblin authored “Superman Says”, and “Messin’ Around”, which concludes what may be the most pleasant surprise of 2014. This one’s a 2014 top tenner.
Look for The Split Squad at a venue near you as they’re touring to support the disc. Opening for the Fleshtones, its a bill that is simply too good to be missed.

Tarheel Slim - Too Much Competition (Sundown 709-10)@320
http://www57.zippyshare.com/v/30829031/file.html
Great 18 song collection of Tarheel Slim and his different bands.
Talk about a versatile musician: Alden Bunn (aka Tarheel Slim) recorded in virtually every postwar musical genre imaginable. Lowdown blues, gospel, vocal group R&B, poppish duets, even rockabilly weren't outside the sphere of his musicianship. However, spirituals were Bunn's first love. While still in North Carolina during the early '40s, the guitarist worked with the Gospel Four and then the Selah Jubilee Singers, who recorded for Continental and Decca. Bunn and Thurman Ruth broke away in 1949 to form their own group, the Jubilators. During a single day in New York in 1950, they recorded for four labels under four different names!
One of those labels was Apollo, who convinced them to go secular. That's basically how the Larks, one of the seminal early R&B vocal groups whose mellifluous early-'50s Apollo platters rank with the era's best, came to be. Bunn sang lead on a few of their bluesier items ("Eyesight to the Blind," for one), as well as doing two sessions of his own for the firm in 1952 under the name of Allen Bunn. As Alden Bunn, he encored on Bobby Robinson's Red Robin logo the next year. Bunn also sang with another R&B vocal group, the Wheels. And coupled with his future wife, Anna Sanford, Bunn recorded as the Lovers; "Darling It's Wonderful," their 1957 duet for Aladdin's Lamp subsidiary, was a substantial pop seller. (Ray Ellis did the arranging.)
Tarheel Slim made his official entrance in 1958 with his wife, now dubbed Little Ann, in a duet format for Robinson's Fire imprint ("It's Too Late," "Much Too Late"). Then old Tarheel came out of the gate like his pants were on fire with a pair of rockabilly raveups of his own, "Wildcat Tamer" and "No. 9 Train," with Jimmy Spruill on blazing lead guitar. After a few years off the scene, Tarheel Slim made a bit of a comeback during the early '70s, with an album for Pete Lowry's Trix logo that harked back to Bunn's Carolina blues heritage. It would prove his last. (Bill Dahl, Allmusic)

THE FABULOUS THUNDERBIRDS - Girls Go Wild ’79 (2013 Expanded)@320
http://www3.zippyshare.com/v/41138487/file.html
The album's greatness is due in no small part to the fact that each of the four musicians offers an eternal lesson-- a clinic-- in how the blues should be played-- with deep focus, deep restraint, deep tension, deep communication-- the result of which is an incredibly erotic ferment-- no wonder it is called "Girls Go Wild"! But for students of the blues, it offers instruction and inspiration for individual instrumentation and ensemble playing. It creates an atmosphere that lends continuity to the entire album.
You can imagine that the Fabulous Thunderbirds' "Girls Go Wild," similar to the Beatles' "Please Please Me" first album and John Mayall/Eric Clapton Bluesbreakers' "Beano," were itching to lay down their best club material on tape, and to my ears the results are in their own way just as astonishing.
One never tires of hearing this timeless document.
A final piece of advice-- play it LOUD!

Special thanks for the Tarheel Slim comp !
I have this great compilation. The best song on it in my opinion is: If This Is Love [I’d Rather Be Lonely] by the Precisions. There is a great cover version of this song by Eddie Spencer on a compilation entitled Jamaica To Toronto - Soul Funk & Reggae 1967 - 1974 which I commend to you. From Johnnie K Auckland New Zealand
Oh wow!! Where do I start?!! Thankyou thankyou thank you!
