VA [2022] - Loma Northern Soul (Classic & Revelations 1964-1968) [Kent #LTDBOX 020] (Album Samples)

To celebrate Ace/Kent's 40th anniversary this year they are putting out their first ever box set of 7" singles from the Loma catalogue which ran from 1964 to 1968 and was a subsidiary of Warner Bros.

The box set includes seven singles which includes five well know Northern Soul gems (in red) and nine previously unissued sides along with copious sleeve notes from Ady Croasdel.

A quick run through what's included.

Marvellos "It's Your Love That I Need" penned by the great Willie Hutch which is a Motownesque dancer along with an instrumental B side

The Invincibles "Heartstrings" and "Got A Thing Goin'" are both previously unissued.

As well as Ben Aiken's established NS classic, "Satisfied", two unissued sides are included, "That's All You Gotta Do" along with "If You Should See Her" matched with Bobby Freeman's 1967 B side "Lies".

Paired with Carl Hall's "Mean It Baby" is the unissued "Like I Told You".

Garnet Mimm's backing group The Enchanters unissued "Just A Little Longer" is paired with Bobby Reed's only Loma outing which is the B side "I'll Find A Way".

The Apollas unissued "See The Silver Moon" is coupled with Larry Laster's "Go For Yourself" which has been featured on these pages previously in a post for Ty Karim comparing it with "Somebody Somewhere Needs You" and "Lighten Up Baby".

Full track listing:

NOTE previews available for A sides only at Ace Records but I'm not entirely sure they are linked to correct tracks as The Apollas "See The Silver Moon" plays Ben Aiken "Satisfied"!
