In the 60s and 70s, Puerto Ricans flooded into "El Barrio," as they called New York's Spanish Harlem. They brought with them the music of their homeland and mixed it with R&B, rock, and jazz to create a distinctive "Nuyorican" sound. It was an astonishingly fruitful period, and the Fania label captured it in all its glory.This four-CD box set documents the development of Latin funk, disco, boogaloo, soul, and especially salsa, for which Fania is justly most famous. Such artists as Ray Barretto, Mongo Santamaria, Joe Bataan, Willie Colon, Tito Puente, Joe Cuba, Eddie Palmieri, and the Fania All Stars bring you spicy fusions of Latin and Black music that will blow your mind whether you're swaying on the beach or grooving on the dancefloor.
Central to this music is its relentless rhythm, played on congas and cowbells and funky bass guitars, accented by tight horn charts and shouts in English and Spanish. In addition to dozens of delightful hits and rarities, both vocal and instrumental, there are covers of James Brown's "I Got the Feeling," Lester Young's "Jumpin' with Symphony Sid," Patti Labelle's "Lady Marmalade," and Clarence Henry's "Evil Ways," which was first recorded by Willie Bobo and later made famous by Santana.
The discs come in a sturdy box with a Rolls-Royce and a couple of cigar-smoking gangsters on the cover. Two booklets contain liner notes detailing the songs, the singers, and the groups, as well as many photos, most of them from original album sleeves. Hours of good listening and dancing are here. It's both extraordinarily tasty and emphatically recommended. (Thomas E. Davis, The Guardian)

Christians Catch Hell - TK Gospel Roots 1976-1979 '15
A really really beautiful little compilation – one with a sound that's every bit as powerful as the image on its cover! The music here all comes from the Gospel Roots label of Miami soul powerhouse TK Records – a key force in mainstream soul in the 70s, but also a company who issued some excellent spiritual material at the time! The work here isn't rootsy gospel – and instead reflects all the hip, righteous changes that were coming into the music during the 70s – bits of blacksploitation funk in the rhythms, powerful lead singers upfront, and an impeccable production style that often mixed deep soul vocals with modern soul presentation. This side of the TK legacy has been crucially ignored over the years – but this wonderful package more than corrects that fault – by offering up some of the key tracks from the Gospel Roots label, alongside a lavish booklet that's filled with notes, photos, and record images – all recounting the overdue tale of this great music. Not all artists are southern – there's a number from up north, and even a few from Chicago – and titles include "Tell Me" by The Fantastic Family Aires, "After The Rain" by Pastor TL Barrett, "Will You Save Me" by The Jordan Singers, "Never Say What You Want" by The Phillipians, "Help Me To Carry On" by The Fabulous Luckett Brothers, "I've Got To Make A Change" by Bright Clouds, "Wake Up Everybody" by The O'Neal Twins, "On Jesus Program" by The Original Sunset Travelers, "Blessed Be The Name Of God" by The Brooklyn All Stars, and "Christians Catch Hell" by Reverend Edna Isaac & The Greene Sisters. © 1996-2015, Dusty Groove, Inc.
In 1977 Henry Stone invited Thomas Spann down to Florida. Spann was founder and leader of The Brooklyn All Stars, one of the most celebrated gospel quartets in the US; Stone headed T.K. Records, the biggest independent record company in the world. The All Stars' contract with Jewel Records just happened to be ending. "He called me and asked me would I meet him in Miami," recalls Spann. "And I flew down to Miami, and I met him and we went to this place that sold all these motor homes. He said, 'Pick out one, pick you out one that you want.' And I did so. I drove it off the lot that same day. I didn't take a plane back. I drove that motor home back to North Carolina."
Christians Catch Hell is a scorching, sublimely soulful survey of the Gospel Roots label, subsidiary of the mighty T.K. Records, at the height of the Miami Sound -- 1976-'79. Includes tracks by The Brooklyn All Stars, Pastor T. L. Barrett, Camille Doughty, The Howard Lemon Singers, The Fantastic Family Aires, Jean Austin & Company, The Jordan Singers, The Phillipians, The Fabulous Luckett Brothers, Bright Clouds, The O'Neal Twins, The Original Sunset Travelers, Reverend Edna Isaac and the Greene Sisters, and The Fountain of Life Joy Choir. Includes a glorious 40-page booklet containing thorough artist-interviews and rare photographs. Mastered at Abbey Road. (NPR)

Roy Orbison - One of the Lonely Ones ’69 (2015 Remaster)
One Of The Lonely Ones is the newly discovered, never-before-heard, 1969 Roy Orbison album that has never been released until now! Recorded primarily between January and August of 1969 this album is an honest account, arguably more so than any other, of Roy Orbison's life. This album is mixed and expertly mastered by Grammy winning engineers. Package features new, period appropriate, original artwork. (The Guardian)
There is a lot of misunderstanding about Orbison’s years with MGM. There are those who feel the music just wasn’t as good as the songs he released with Monument Records. Those people overlook songs such as “Crawling Back”, “Walk On”, “Ride Away”, “Too Soon To Know” to just name a few.
Orbison did face extraordinary challenges during his time with MGM. These include baffling decisions made by the record company itself and of course the personal tragedies of losing his wife Claudette in a motorcycle accident in 1966, and the tragic house fire that claimed the life of two of his sons.
This album, “One Of The Lonely Ones”, was recorded in the months following the fire that claimed the lives of his two sons and also saw his relationship with Barbara Jakobs develop and lead to their marriage in March of 1969. The Album does have a certain “autobiographical” element to it but really the songs are typical subject matter for an Orbison album.
And although the reason isn’t clear, MGM decided to shelf the album. What is clear is that this album is very close in style and quality to Orbison’s “Many Moods” album that would have preceded it. “One Of The Lonely Ones” finds Orbison at his vocal best, effortlessly hitting operatic notes and piercing falsettos. It also features several songs, “Sweet Memories”, “Say No More”, “One Of The Lonely Ones”, that could easily be counted among Roy’s best!
“One Of The Lonely Ones” is a must have album for any serious Orbison fan and one that any casual fan of Roy Orbison should strongly consider. (Record Runner)

The Mustangs - Riverside Garage Legends...And That's For Sure! 1965-1966
"Two minutes and five seconds of tough fuzz, stomp and bad attitude, the Mustangs'1965 single 'That's For Sure' is considered one of the Holy Grails of sixties garage rock. That one, hopelessly rare 45 would be their only release. However, in January 1966 the Mustangs went into Locy Sound in Riverside, California, where they recorded 14 more songs, demonstrating not only their dynamism and versatility as a live cover band, but also their remarkable talent for original material, from wailing rockers to haunting Beatlesque ballads. Those tracks are presented here for the first time, along with 'That's For Sure' and its grooving instrumental flipside 'Nova Blues.' This CD only release includes a full-color 16-page booklet packed with rare photos of the band, plus full liner notes by Mike Stax."

The Hollies - Evolution '67
Mix a little psychedelia in with those Hollies harmonies and you've got one of their best albums, released on Epic in 1967. Includes the hit Carrie Anne , plus the rare bonus tracks When Your Lights Turned On; Water on the Brain; Jennifer Eccles; Signs That Will Never Change , and Open Up Your Eyes . (The Guardian)
For many Hollies enthusiasts, Evolution (1967) is considered the band's most accessible blend of pop and psychedelia. The quintet were headed into musical territories beyond simply "moon-June-bloom" and boy-meets-girl lyrics coupled with the tightly constructed vocal harmonies that had become their calling card. Nowhere is this more evident than in the tripped-out cover art from Dutch multimedia artists Seemon Kooer, Marijke Kooer, Josje Leeger, and Barry Finch -- known collectively as Fool. Although "Carrie-Anne" could be considered an extension of the trite, somewhat predictable Brit pop, there are clear indications of new horizons on cuts such as the modish "You Need Love," the arguably passé distorted electric guitar on "Have You Ever Loved Somebody," and the wailing fretwork on the driving freakbeat rocker "Then the Heartaches Begin." Graham Nash (guitar/vocals), Allan Clarke (guitar/vocals), Tony Hicks (guitar/banjo/dulcimer/vocals), Bobby Elliott (drums), and new recruit Bernie Calvert (bass/vocals) -- who replaced original member Eric Haydock in the spring of 1966 -- were also taking different approaches in their writing and arranging, as heard on the trippy "Headed for a Fall." On this tune, most prominent is the unusual six-eight time signature, coupled with Hicks' inversion of the unmistakable banjo, which is similar to the sound he conjured up on the hit "Stop, Stop, Stop." However, somewhat more atypical of the Nash-era band are the light and limber acoustic and uptempo "Stop Right There," or the baroque "Ye Olde Toffee Shoppe." (Lindsay Planer, Allmusic)

Sonny Parker - The Complete 1948-1953 (Blue Moon CD 6003)
Fine collection of R&B that is now out of print.
b. 5 May 1925, Youngstown, Ohio, USA, d. 1957. Raised in Chicago by the vaudeville act Butterbeans And Susie, Parker developed into an all-round entertainer specializing in singing and dancing, and his powerful voice lent itself well to blues shouting. Recording with trumpeter King Kolax for Columbia Records in 1948, he came to the attention of band leader Lionel Hampton, and recorded as the latter’s blues vocalist for Decca Records and MGM Records over the next three years, covering many of the top US R&B hits of the day (‘Drinking Wine, Spo-Dee-O-Dee’, ‘For You My Love’, ‘Merry Christmas Baby’, and ‘I Almost Lost My Mind’). During the Hampton years, Parker recorded sessions in his own name for Aladdin Records, Spire and Peacock, usually featuring a contingent from the then-current Hampton orchestra. Later sessions were recorded in the mid-50s for Brunswick Records, Ultima and Hitts, and Parker continued to tour sporadically with Hampton. In 1957, Hampton brought Parker to Europe, and it was while touring France that he became seriously ill and died.

Thanks
Gyro: Many thanks for the TK Gospel and Sonny Parker shares in particula , and all the glorious music in general with which you and the entire TZ cohort nourish my ears and mind!
Thanks for the Roy Orbison!!!! I was hoping this would show up here and I appreciate this very much. Will you be posting more of the MGM material? Thanks either way, you all post plenty of excellent music.
Gyro, thanks for the Orbison.
Thank you very much for Roy Orbison, Gyro. Have been looking forward to hearing this. Regards.
Thank you for the Orbison CD and all the hard work you undertake each day to keep this site going.
Tanx for The Mustangs, The Hollies and Sonny Parker.
Not complaining, but it is ironic that Sonny Parker's sole listing in Big Al Pavlow's "The R&B Book", 'Lavender Coffin' from 1949 is omitted from his "complete" recordings 1948 - 1953! If anyone has it, I'd love to hear it.
Can anyone share Chris Youlden - Nowhere Road and City Child or Legend? They are his post Savoy Brown solo releases. Thanks much!
Thanks, thanks, thanks, Gyro for this new album of Roy Orbison.
In several years , you and the TWZ community have shared quite all the albums of Roy Orbison, but i don't remember to have seen his last album " king of hearts". If it's not in the pipeline I can share it next week-end.

ROY ORBISON ROCKS!!
