UK collection of tracks from the Kent and Modern labels. Label owners, the Biharis, knew their black music and signed singers of the caliber of Johnny Copeland, the Ikettes and Jackie Shane. They also trawled in superb one-off releases from the likes of the Other Brothers from Texas, Jeanette Jones and Wally Cox from the Bay Area, the Memphis recorded Earl Wright and Larry Sanders from Alabama. The recordings were made between 1962 and 1972 and feature most styles of soul. Ballads come from Wally Cox whose previously unreleased 'I Need a Love' is in a classic vocal group arrangement as is the very hard to find Modern 45 update of Marvin & Johnny's 'Cherry Pie' by Lord Charles & the Prophets and also Jimmy Bee's glorious update of 'I Only Have Eyes for You'. The vaults contained a beautiful Betty Gouch led gospel number 'You're Gonna Miss You're Chance' which is emotionally strong enough to shock. Millie Foster offers an unissued take on Mary Love's R&B hit 'Move a Little Closer'. Other male group vocals include, the Other Brothers 'It's Been a Long Time Baby' and the exquisite harmonies of the Windjammers 'All That Shines Is Not Gold' now presented in a superb stereo format.
