In Joe Meek's last months, he produced some of his best, hard-edged mod and proto-psychedelic records - like this one. A-grade 60s beat.
Ace Records are delighted to release Candi Staton’s new album “Back To My Roots”. The soul legend has recorded a sensational set of songs that draw heavily upon her gospel roots.
The Brides Of Funkenstein’s second album, released in 1979, featured a new vocal line up of Dawn Silva, Sheila Horne and Jeanette McGruder. With the Brides backed by the cream of P-Funk, the reviews were as fantastic as the music.
In the late 70s and early 80s, there was a parallel world of hits that people heard when their clock radio went off. This is the warming soundtrack of eating breakfast or driving to school or to work in the cold and dark to the sound of Art Garfunkel, Dolly Parton and Hoyt Axton.
It's Ace new release day folks! The following titles are all released today. 🙏
A stellar cast of soul stars from the 60s, 70s and 80s perform songs written by the one and only Stevie Wonder, including several unrecorded by the man himself.
