Barbara Lynn [2022] - Unloved, Unwanted Me / Soul Deep [Soul4Real #S4R23]

Following the pair of Jai Alai releases at the back end of August from Pete Belasco and Willie Walker, Soul4Reall have another pair out on the main imprint.

Both releases are 60s recordings not previously available on vinyl. 

The first is a pair of unreleased songs by Barbara Lynn recorded in Memphis in 1968. She recorded six songs in the summer of 1968 produced by Spooner Oldham spread over a couple of sessions which were shelved.

The two songs chosen for this vinyl release are "Unloved, Unwanted Me" and "Soul Deep". "Unloved, Unwanted Me" first featured on a Kent compilation "The Girls Got Soul"  in 2000 and both appeared on a 25 track Barbara Lynn compilation "The Complete Atlantic Recordings" in 2014 which was released digitally as "The Atlantic Collection" in 2018.

Available now to order from Soul4Real or you favourite vinyl stockist.

Barbara Lynn [2022] - Mellow Feeling Pt 1 & Pt 2 [Soul Brother #SB7044]

Another forthcoming Soul Brother 7" vinyl release. This one's from Barbara Lynn with a very rare 1979 recording released on L.A. label Love Records. It is alleged that there are only twenty known copies and only one has ever sold on Discogs, in 2019 for just over £1k. 

Barbara Lynn had semi-retired and relocated to L.A. in the 70s and this is one of only two recordings she did between 1976 (after her modern soul classic "Movin' On A Groove" on Jetstream) and 1983. The other is on Huey Meaux's Houston, TX, Starflite label the same year.

"Mellow Feeling" has never been reissued on vinyl but did feature on a Jazzman compilation "Soul Spectrum Records, Vol. 1" in 2013 (issued on CD and 2x vinyl) which was ripped from an original vinyl copy owned by Derek See.

Available to pre-order now from Simply Soul for release 24 Jun 2022. Now I imagine that this one will fly off the shelves, so you know the drill if you want one to avoid the highway men on Discogs!

On the flip side to deep soul '(Until Then) I'll Suffer' on Jetstream / Atlantic, 'Take The Love And Run' is a Motownesque outing by Barbara Lynn picked up on by the Northern scene.  It's not too difficult to find or expensive as the A side was a hit.  Plenty has been written about Barbara Lynn on the net so check out Barbara Lynn @ Wikipedia
