I've been a fan of Tamla Motown since it was first introduced on the pirate radio stations Radio Caroline and later Radio London by Tony Blackburn back in 1964. This 2cd set is setting the sound as Anna Records 1959 to 1961 which was one of the forerunners of that Motown sound we all know and love. There are 40 tracks of pure pre-Motown magic as issued in the USA. Amongst the artists appearing here are David Ruffin, Barrett Strong, Paul Gayten, Falcons and Joe Tex amongst others. It is a fact that these early tracks would see little or no play here in the UK which makes them very unique for anyone who likes the records of Motown. I'd often wondered what these fine tracks would sound like and I'm a little biased when I say I love them all. I like the history of Motown and this great 2cd set, copied from vinyl singles of the day, is well worth a visit. Enjoy this slice of nostalgia and wonder where all the years went from 1959 to 1961! Happy listening. (Record Runner)

Cinnamon Girl - Women Artists Cover Neil Young For Charity '08 @320
This two-disc, 21-track compilation of women artists covering early era (1969 to 1979) Neil Young songs is an intriguing concept.
This collection of women's voice treatments of Neil Young's songs is everything I had expected. There are some are real gems. The use of all women's voices and creativity add an interesting slant on Neil's songs demonstrating their breadth and true human connections. I enjoyed the artists and group choices made by American Laundromat Records. The CD, for the most part, avoids the problem of disjointed sounds many multi-group artist tributes suffer from, flowing nicely together from various styles and sound variations. It is quite enjoyable. I know as a Neil Young fan that I will enjoy this for many years to come. It will join the ranks of good tributes such as.This Note's for You Too!: A Tribute to Neil Young and The Bridge: A Tribute to Neil Young. (Crawdaddy)

Chicago Jazz Jukebox
Chicago jazz like you've never heard before. These sides mostly cut in Chicago in the late 50's and early 60's showcase Coleman Hawkins, Jimmy Rushing, Joe Williams, Herbie Fields and others in their prime. Super !!!
This CD is worth the price just to have the original version of Mr. 5 x 5 by the great Jimmy Rushing. Why these sides have never been released before on CD is a mystery to me. Coleman Hawkins, Joe Williams, Paul Bascomb, Herbie Fields - every track is a killer and feature arrangements by a young unknown (at the time) named Sonny Blount - who was about to morph into Sun Ra !! Very, very important sides indeed. If you were in Chicago in the mid-fifties, the only place you would've heard these tracks was on a jukebox on the south side. This is a major find and a rare treat. Some of the funkiest jazz you'll ever hear. A must for the jazz junkie. Where has this CD been all my life? (Southern Slim, Blues World)
In the mid fifties when Rock 'N Roll began to rear its head, Chicago's club scene was brimming with the greatest jazz talent in the United States. While the major jazz labels in New York and California were trimming their budgets and the club scene was dying, the great jazz cats descended upon Chicago, where the scene was still thriving. Jazz greats like Coleman Hawkins, Jimmy Rushing, Joe Williams and Herbie Fields were burning up the clubs, backed by great bands of seasoned vets. An enterprising Chicago label Parrot/Blue Lake began recording these neglected giants. Instead of making full length albums, this label decided to issue 45 RPM singles. These singles get to see the light of day on this historically significant compilation. (The Jazz & Blues Review)
1. Mr. 5 x 5 - Jimmy Rushing 2. Clothes Pin Blues - Jimmy Rushing 3. Harlem Nocturne - Herbie Fields 4. Mr. Jump - Herbie Fields 5. Blue Blue Days (Goin' Down Home) - Coleman Hawkins 6. What A Difference A Day Makes - Coleman Hawkins 7. I'll Follow My Secret Heart - Coleman Hawkins 8. I'll Tell You Later - Coleman Hawkins 9. Uptown Stomp - Benson Ogletree Band 10. Riverboat - Benson Ogletree Band 11. Summertime - Red Saunders & His Orchestra 12. Riverboat - Red Saunders & His Orchestra 13. Jan Pt. 1 - Paul Bascomb 14. Jan Pt. 2 - Paul Bascomb 15.

You can find your album on the 01 may , in the comments.
An album of The Sun makers was posted on the 13 february , in the comments but the link is invalid so I've asked this night if it was possible to have a repost. I've also asked MrNoon for some links for these groups.
I have searched for you some weeks ago but it was not at all a happy hunting, but I give you the links :

LittleJack
Thanks
I too am looking forward to hearing the Anna Records Story and the Jukebox Jazz set. Many tanx!
@ LittleJack, I'm very sorry that I didn't include your name in the post above I had planned on talking to you much more. when you said you have to work for four (4) straight days I kinda thought that you would be away the computer. Your right with not really being able to find hardly anything, well so far. LittleJack, I asked for some help and you came through so I can't wait for the two that you found. I will let you know after the Youtube video's I watch which one's I prefer and the one track I heard on that record from Arno De Cea & The Clockwork Wizards I'm hoping will turn out great. Thank You for the work you've done for me already. ronh1
