Soul City Los Angeles: West Coast Gems From The Dawn Of Soul Music
The 2LP vinyl collector's edition of Soul City Los Angeles sees soul music authority Clive Richardson select 28 of the most sought-after tracks from his 60-track 2CD compilation. These recordings served to establish the musical direction of LA and neighbouring West Coast conurbations in the late 1950s and early 1960s when R&B was evolving into the style that became known as soul. Soul City Los Angeles is the latest in a series that has previously explored the nascent soul scenes in Detroit, New York and Chicago.
This instalment presents a selection from key independent labels of the area, including Sam Cooke's SAR and Richard Vaughn's Arvee, as well as choice items from Aladdin, Liberty and Ebb, and collectable releases from more obscure imprints. Famous names include the Olympics, Don & Dewey, the Valentinos (aka the Womack Brothers) with 'Lookin' For A Love', the Rivingtons with 'Papa-Oom-Mow-Mow', Johnnie Morisette with 'Meet Me At The Twistin' Place', plus early recordings by future stars Johnnie Taylor and Johnny 'Guitar' Watson, and a young Sly Stone as a member of the Viscaynes.
Soul fans of the early 1960s could often figure out the geographic origins of new singles as much by the 'sound' as by any knowledge of sometimes obscure artists and labels, with the output of West Coast studios tending to have a 'harder' sound in comparison with some more sophisticated (for the era) productions from the opposite coast or the regions of the Great Lakes. Here we have music from the formative period of the soul era in Los Angeles.
2LP vinyl collector's limited (500 copies) edition featuring 28 of the most sought-after tracks from the 60-track 2CD set
