Masterpieces of Modern Soul Vol.4
Brand: KENT
Product type: ABIS MUSIC
Our latest volume of 'Modern Soul' sides is a particularly splendid affair. The four-year gestation period is a reflection of the scarcity of these tracks and the gradual increase in the percentage of masters that were not issued at the time of recording to a staggering 70% tells us it's what's in the tape box that counts nowadays. Aural debuts abound; Elaine Armstrong cut one great single for King in 1968 but the company left the mid-tempo sadness of 'Tears Begin To Fall' in the vaults. Jesse Johnson recorded in Los Angeles and cut a pretty upbeat love song, 'There Will Never Be Another You', for veteran producer Johnny Otis. The other Johnny Adams, who cut for Modern and Money, also performed with the group Fox Fire and an unissued LP featured a long beautiful ballad with a slow beat called 'You Amaze Me'; sophisticated in the extreme.
