Rufus Thomas "Jump Back" (Stax Recordings) 1984 Edsel Records

The best compilation of his early Stax sides. The 16 tracks include "Walking the Dog," "The Dog," and some lesser-known songs in the same league, some of which ("Jump Back," "All Night Worker," "Sister's Got a Boyfriend," "Sophisticated Sissy") made the rounds via cover versions by both Black and white artists. (Allmusic)trax:
01 Jump Back 02 All Night Worker 03 Little Sally Walker 04 Chicken Scratch 05 The World Is Round 06 Sister's Got A Boyfriend 07 Talkin' Bout True Love 08 Sophisticated Sissy 09 Memphis Train 10 Greasy Spoon 11 The Dog 12 Walking The Dog 13 Can Your Monkey Do The Dog? 14 I Want To Be Loved 15 I Want To Get Married 16 Fine And Mellow

OS ROCKS

Soul and R&B from Angola, splitting their professional time between their home-country and Portugal. They were together for almost seven years but only recorded two EPs in that time, the first of which has long been considered a central piece original African beat pop.

Os Rocks “Wish I May” EP (1966) 320
+ “Don’t Blame Me” EP (1968) 320

THE MIRETTES

Robbie Montgomery, Venetta Fields, and Jessie Smith were the original line-up of the Ikettes, but they changed their name to The Mirettes when they left Ike Turner on account of low pay & unfair treatment. With an obviously rich musical pedigree, their solo material is a powerhouse of burning soul and driving R&B, moving into slippery soul funk on the second LP.

THE IKETTES

I suppose we can’t mention The Mirettes without hitting on their classic material, too. Some overlap exists between these two comps, but there’s enough exclusive material on each to make it worth having both.

The Ikettes “Soul The Hits” (1965/2007) 256
-Their classic original solo album before they left Ike
-Japanese Expanded Remastered Edition with 17 extra tracks of non-album singles, solo tracks, alternate takes, and other unreleased gems
http://www25.zippyshare.com/v/IQt5HHqS/file.html

The Ikettes “Can’t Sit Down, ‘Cos It Feels So Good: The Complete Modern Recordings” (2007) 320
-An upgrade to their ’87 “Fine, Fine, Fine” collection, this includes all official tracks they did for Modern plus additional unreleased cuts, all newly remastered from cleaner stereo sources

WAYNE FONTANA

After splitting with The Mindbenders, Fontana diverged slightly from his beat rock past and pushed headlong in poppy blue-eyed soul. This hugely-expanded 2-disc version of his debut solo album collects his complete official solo output, adding all of the extra tracks from his second LP and all of his later A’s & B’s through 1970.

Wayne Fontana “Wayne One” (1966/2004 Expanded) 320

Would any one wish to share Kent LP 50.
cheers,ELtel

Bill said...

Thanks to clash and Gyro for Rufus Thomas and LoFi Larry for The Ikettes.
ElTel..You`re right,sorry,on my copy of Kent 50 the tracks are wrong too!

I`ve cobbled together the tracks from other albums.I can`t seem to find track 07 Torture (Instrumental) - The Maxine Brown Band(anyone help??) so I`ve used the vocal track.

I think I must be losing it!
This has taught me to make time to listen and enjoy the music and check before I post!

Thanks LoFi for the Mirettes/Ikettes. No matter what a jerk or abuser Ike Turner was the man could play and arrange like no other. I'm glad the girls got to go out on their own but the stuff they did with Ike can hardly be topped.

Exactly that LP (that I must have bought around 1986-87)made me going to a Concert of Rufus Thomas when he played in Berlin, Germany, probably around 1987-1988.Long ago,I really can´t remember the date but what I can say is that this was a fantastic Show - together with
Geno Washington and the Ram Jam Band these were the best Soul/R&B Concerts I visited.
Thanks for bringing back such good memories through your shares.

What a rich lode of funky, greasy soul today! Thanks to all the usual suspects for your ongoing labors of love. The Angolan afro pop too—an unexpected treat.

ELtel said...

Thanks for that Bill, appreciated. Did you post Kent 059, if you did you're trying to wind me up,(lol) cos Kent 059 is Tommy Hunt, not Once upon a time in Wigan vol 2 (BBE 059) as I have. Managed to assemble it

Thanks to clash and Gyro for Rufus Thomas and LoFi Larry for The Ikettes. Ditto on Johnny's comments on Ike Turner. I wouldn't want to be his wife or employee but I'm glad to be a listener.
