North London's Soul Jazz Records kicks off their superb compilation series with a slow-beat, funk-laden hike primarily through the revered vaults of Clement "Coxsone" Dodd's Studio One imprint and the loving exposure of authentic reggae standards will have even the palest of whitey start rhyming in patois. Surely, Nick Hornby types will get a kick out of showing friends just how crucial styles crossed the waters to and from Jamaica: "Green Mango" by Skatalites leader Tommy McCook is slow-burning jazz with Rastafarian intent, "Popcorn" by the Upsetters is a relaxed James Brown funk-athon, and "We Need Love" by Johnny Osbourne is heartwarming soul reggae. Later installments would have less reliance on Dodd's production feats, but even people who cringe at compilations would have to admit this is still worth scouring over time and time again. A compilation never resting on its laurels, 100% Dynamite fuses an intelligent reminder of a genre's roots and influences with some unabashedly cracking tunes. (All music)

Mr. Personality GENO WASHINGTON and The Ram Jam Band vs The Genial Gentleman JIMMY JAMES and The Vagabonds - No Holds Barred!
http://www.discogs.com/Geno-Washington-The-Ram-Jam-Band-vs-Jimmy-James-The-Vagabonds-No-Holds-Barred/release/6568991

Good quality sound with interesting selection of 60's club favourites including the first part of the famous "live" ' Handclappin' Gino album.
Of course not for the purist but fun & evocative, & brings back fond memories of the greatest U.K. club period.
I couldn't listen to it all straight through as I prefer the orrigionals , but I use odd tracks in my own mixes espescially Gino's version of the C.O.D.s 'Michael' & Jimmy's version of the Curtis Mayfield classic 'Amen' orrigionally recorded by his supergroup , The Impressions; & later by Otis.
During this period we were starved of the orrigional American artists live performances, & troopers such as Gino & Jimmy,along with the orrigional Amboy Dukes & others trudged round the country club to club filling the gap & creating a great atmosphere.
The backing groups had horn sections & were hard working & doing their best to reproduce the incredible Memphis sound ceated at Stax.
There are a few poppier records written espescially for the guys which are light & still fun.
There was at the time rumours of a feud between them,but I wonder just how true this was.

MARIE KNIGHT - Today '75 @320
(LP Rip by Gyro1966)
A powerful showcase for one of the greatest American gospel artist; the legacy of a formidable voice, now nearly forgotten
(The original review/March 1978)
Marie Knight rose to fame some 30 years ago as the late Sister Rosetta Tharpe\'s singing partner. After several years as one of gospel\'s top stars, she defected to r&b, quickly fading after a handful of early successes. Little has been heard from her in the past two decades, though talent as enormous as hers is too valuable to go to waste.
Her bounteous contralto is as strong and sure as ever, particularly on slow, traditional-styled moaners like Today and Where He Leads Me, which show off her graceful tremolo, unostentatious embellishments, and sincere, deep-felt soulfulness. If you have been looking for a successor to Mahalia Jackson, listen to the heart-rending In My Home Over There, the moderately swinging Jesus Met The Woman At The Well, theacutely soul-stirring His Eye Is On The Sparrow, and her zealous wailing of Mahalia\'s theme, Move On Up A Little Higher, and your search may well be over.
Knight receives perfect, unfaltering support from a highly adept, wholly compatible combo. The keyboard work is superb, with sensitive idiomatic chords by pianist Floyd Waite and tastefully pertinent, bright-toned organ by Virgie Knight. Blues guitarist Louisiana Red is listed as \"special guest,\" but he thankfully subdues his personality in favor of the group identity. Ex-Larry Coryell bassist Mervin Brunson and drummer Earl Williams could hardly be better.
Not only is the music choice, the engineering is just about the best I\'ve ever encountered on a gospel album. The sound is clear, the balance well considered, and the surface clean. -Tom Bingham / AUDIO

THE BEY PAULE BAND - Not Goin' Away '15 @320
Not Goin' Away is the third release from the critically acclaimed Bey Paule Band. Their previous release Soul For Your Blues received 2 BMA (Blues Music Award) nominations, and wound up on the Downbeat Magazine critics poll as well as the Living Blues Magazine Best of 2013 list. This resulted in two European tours, and a many prestigious festival appearances throughout North America in 2014. With this success the band started writing songs for this latest release. Ten of the twelve tracks are original and they are bound to tickle the fancy of any fan of traditional soul, blues, and R&B music. Although the music from this eight piece power house is reminiscent of Otis Redding, Bobby Bland and B. B. King, they have managed to put their own stamp on this style of American Roots music.
