In 1970, Blues And Soul magazine founder John Abbey opened a record shop, Contempo Records, in Hanway Street, London, specializing in U.S. imports of Soul and Funk. In January 1973, Contempo launched as a label to issue black American recordings in the UK, as well as create home-grown equivalents.
Between 1973 and 1978, the label issued around 150 singles and several albums, enjoying some mainstream success while catering for all aspects of black music demand, from Funk to the emerging Disco, Northern Soul to bluesy ballads.
Many of these tracks are new to CD, others have long been unavailable. Among the many highlights are some of Contempo’s own recordings of legends Major Lance and J.J. Barnes, who were enjoying renewed popularity via the Northern Soul scene.
