Alberto Zanini's Cannonball Records / Tesla Groove has just announced a batch of new and forthcoming releases over the coming weeks.
The first, from Joe Johnson, we posted back in Feb which has been delayed but is now shipping. It consists of two tracks from a hard to find private press album ("Sounds Forever" on Gran Mill John) available on single for the first time.
The album is not dated but by the sound of the A side of the single "What's The Matter With You", and the sleeve images, it indicates late 60s/early 70s, with "I Still Love" sounding more like late 60s. The five tracks on the A side of the album all seem to be early 60s and even late 50s songs whilst the B side consists of original songs written by several of the band members with both sides of the single written by Cleo Parks.
The band was made up of Joe Johnson and family members(?) Ira Johnson (piano), Claude Johnson (electric piano), TJ Johnson (harmonica) and Randy Barker (bass guitar), Cleo Parks (lead guitar), Eddie Henderson (bass guitar), Louis Fields (drums).

As a collector, this is a very rare LP that interests me the most. Listening to these 2 very 60's tracks it is obvious that it must be excellent. Hoping someone will post it one day.
