VA [2022] - Atlanta Soul Artistry 1965-1975 [KENT #523] (Full Album)

Ace/Kent have a new compilation of 70s Atlanta soul from Michael Thevis' GRC, Aware and Hotlanta labels due out on vinyl on 1 Jul 2022.

Most have been released before either on vinyl or CD compilations and I've managed to find all but three on Spotify. The three missing tracks are all previously unreleased in any format.

Joe Hinton's "I'm Tired Of Dreaming", which he co-wrote with Marlin McNichols, was recorded by Pure Velvet in 1975 on Osiris so I've included that version and a sample of Joe Hinton's original unreleased version.

King Hannibal (aka James Shaw) "Fight Fire With Fire" is from live tapes recorded in Atlanta and L.A. and is also released for the first time.

Joe Graham recorded four tracks for Aware around 1973 all of which were shelved until now as "I'm Leaving" gets it's first release.

There are links for these three below whist all the others are in the playlist.

The compilation is available to pre-order on vinyl from Ace/Kent.
