The on-going Wheedle's Groove series continues to present a vast chapter of the city's musical heritage that has little to do with long-haired rock dudes with guitars. No - in the world of Wheedle's Groove, platform shoes and pimp hats were the order of the day. But unlike Volume I, Seattle's soul scene did not stop in 1975. A new volume, 'Wheedle's Groove Volume 2', documents the period from 1972 to 1987, when funk was superseded by disco and modern soul. Heading into the '80s, artists in the Emerald City caught wind of the hip-hop and electro scenes that were growing in bigger cities across America, and gave the music their own distinct spin. As the years unfurl in the tracks of 'Wheedle's Groove Volume 2', so does the recent history of American music, the songs tracing technological changes and social change, and music's move from the club to disco as live bands moved aside for DJs. Witness Septimus, on the cusp of both, blending a live drummer with a Roland drum machine and cutting 'Here I Go Again' on a disco-friendly 12\" single. Separated from the major centers of soul music, Seattle was a scene that developed out of the gaze of the mainstream music industry, but one that moved just as fast. As John Studamire of the band Priceless remembers, \"A lot of the groups around town would have to incorporate that disco sound or you'd sound totally dated.\" Seattle's size and location had a great effect on its sound. Artists on the scene were accustomed to playing small, discreetly segregated club shows and pressing short runs of 45s for local radio stations. Touring happened mostly on a regional scale and artists popped up in a variety of different bands. Fans of Volume I will recognize some familiar names here: Robbie Hill's Family Affair turn in the soul-jazz gem 'Don't Give Up' and Cold, Bold and Together present the undeniable vocal beauty of 'Let's Backtrack.' Compiled and sequenced by Seattle's DJ Supreme La Rock, this 18-track compilation will also introduce you to the long-forgotten blue-eyed soul boy Don Brown ('Don't Lose Your Love') and frustrated talents Push, overlooked for record deals on account of singer \"Big Joe\" Erickson's larger-than-life heft ('You Turn Me On').

Peru Bravo tells the whirlwind story of a culture in flux. During the late ‚Ä∞√õ√∑60s and early ‚Ä∞√õ√∑70s, Lima boasted dozens of young bands full of ideas, spontaneous and unfazed by the instability in Peru. Featuring alternative heroes Traffic Sound and Laghonia alongside a selection of unheralded short-lived groups, Peru Bravo is a funk-fuelled ride through a radical decade. Like its predecessor, Tiger‚Ä∞€™s Milk‚Ä∞€™s debut LP ‚Ä∞√õ√∑Peru Maravilloso‚Ä∞€™, Peru Bravo digs deep. It unearths the full spectrum of incendiary underground funk, soul and psych sounds that emerged following the first TV performance by the Peruvian Grand Daddies of garage punk, Los Saicos in 1965. By ‚Ä∞√õ√∑66, there were dozens of guitar based groups in Lima playing a mix of instrumental surf, rock ‚Ä∞√õ√∑n roll and garage punk. With the growing influence of West coast American rock, funk and soul and British psychedelia and rock, the underground music scene in Peru diversified rapidly. It would, however, be only a matter of years before this burgeoning movement disappeared just as quickly as a new, uncompromising military dictatorship led by General Juan Velasco Alvarado, took hold. Artists on Peru Bravo include psychedelic ensembles Laghonia \u0026amp; Telegraph Avenue, both heavily influenced by American West coast bands like Santana \u0026amp; Jefferson Airplane. Also featured are Black Sugar‚Ä∞€™s hard funk, Traffic Sound‚Ä∞€™s rock-edged boogaloo and the raw-but-sweet harmonies of Thee Image, all under-pinned by a deep soulfulness that pervaded much of the music of the time. The album also features three dynamite cover versions of Jimi Hendrix‚Ä∞€™s ‚Ä∞√õ√∑Hey Joe‚Ä∞€™, Steppenwolf‚Ä∞€™s ‚Ä∞√õ√∑Sookie Sookie‚Ä∞€™ and the Meters‚Ä∞€™ ‚Ä∞√õ√∑Cissy Strut‚Ä∞€™. In Peru, the word ‚Ä∞√õ√∑bravo‚Ä∞€™ has a double meaning. It can refer to something that is ‚Ä∞√õ√∑edgy‚Ä∞€™ or ‚Ä∞√õ√∑dangerous‚Ä∞€™ but can also be a celebratory exclamation like in English.

Now they turn their attention to the flipside of this musical coin - New Orleans soul. These two musical forms share a lineage that begins with the city's enormous rhythm and blues explosion in the post-war 1940s and 1950s. New Orleans soul incorporated the soulful vocals of the gospel church, the driving beat of rhythm and blues, as well as traces of the second-line parade bands and the Latinized rhythms of the city. ‚Ä∞€¢ Here you will find New Orleans soul in all its glorious variations - from the deep, deep soul of singers Aaron Neville, Willie Tee and Robert Parker to the storming Northern Soul of Maurice Williams and Eldridge Holmes, the funky soul of Eddie Bo, Lionel Robinson and Ernie K-Doe all alongside the Crescent City's finest soul sisters - Irma Thomas, Betty Harris, Jean Knight, Inell Young and more. The main force behind 'New Orleans Soul' is Allen Toussaint, a virtual one- man hit-making machine in the 1960s, writing, arranging and producing hit after hit for an unending list of unbelievably talented local singers such as Eldridge Holmes, Maurice Williams, Betty Harris, Ernie K Doe and Diamond Joe, all of whom are featured. New Orleans is also a city of great musical families. Vocalist Aaron Neville was the brother of Art Neville (who formed The Meters) and later in the 1970s joined with brother Cyril to form The Neville Brothers. Soul vocalist supreme Willie Tee is also known as Wilson Turbinton, who alongside brother Earl, formed the super-heavy funk band The Gaturs and backed the Mardi Gras Indian group The Wild Magnolias. Also included here are rare, lost and killer soulful tracks from New Orleans artists Eddie Bo (and protegee vocalist Inell Young), Jean Knight, Jimmy Hicks and Francine King. This album tells the story of New Orleans soul and comes complete with extensive sleevenotes, exclusive photography and supreme sound quality. \u003c\/span\u003e\r\u003c\/p\u003e\r\r\u003cp\u003e\r  \u003cbr\u003e\r  \u003cspan\u003eCD - Deluxe CD with slipcase and outsize booklet.\u003c\/span\u003e\r  \u003cbr\u003e\r  \u003cspan\u003eLP - super-heavy, super-loud limited-edition double vinyl album with download code.\u003c\/span\u003e\r\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"South Records Ltd","offers":[{"title":"CD","offer_id":965630392,"sku":null,"price":14.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"2LP","offer_id":695709761554,"sku":null,"price":20.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0342\/2497\/products\/various-the-original-sound-of-new-orleans-soul-1966-1976-south-records-ltd.jpg?v=1571438645"},{"product_id":"various-souvenirs-of-the-soul-clap","title":"Various - Souvenirs of The Soul Clap","description":"\u003cspan\u003eJonathan Toubin's New York Night Train offers the world's greatest dance parties - now JT's hand picked two platters worth of dance floor favorites for your own instant party!

Something sweet for these dystopian times, this album couldn't have appeared at a better time.\u003c\/span\u003e","brand":"South Records Ltd","offers":[{"title":"2LP","offer_id":1110804336,"sku":null,"price":19.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0342\/2497\/products\/dangelo-black-messiah-south-records-ltd.jpg?v=1571438656"},{"product_id":"various-disco-2-a-further-fine-selection-1976-1980","title":"Various - Disco 2: A Further Fine Selection 1976-1980","description":"\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis is a second selection of independent disco records featuring rare and classic tracks originally released in the USA between the halcyon years of 1977 and 1985. This release features only the finest disco, modern soul and boogie and is compiled by Disco Patrick who last year put together the mighty 'Disco: An Encyclopedic Guide To The Cover Art Of Disco Records' 400+ page deluxe book for Soul Jazz Records, as well as the first installment of 'Disco: A Fine Selection Of Independent Disco, Modern Soul And Boogie.' This album is released as a double CD, two separate volumes of double vinyl (plus free download codes) and a worldwide digital release. This album features rare, classic and in demand tracks from the mighty vaults of labels such as New York's Salsoul and Miami's TK Records - which, during the main disco era, became the main competitors to the major established record industry - through to killer virtually unknown tracks released on tiny bespoke one-off labels now impossible to find either in the history books or record shops of the world. Before its mainstream consumption in the late 1970s, disco first emerged from independent record companies run by lovers of this new sound: Patrick Adams and Peter Brown, the powerhouse musical partnership based up in Harlem, New York; Henry Stone at TK, a man with a 30-year old career distributing black music; or the Cayre brothers at Salsoul, linking Latin roots with the deep, soulful music emerging from Philadelphia and New York. In fact, as we can see on this album, Harlem was to prove a fertile ground of nascent independent disco with numerous young producers, alongside leaders of the pack Patrick Adams and Peter Brown, hustling to release one- off or a couple of singles on their own independent labels. All the music on this album has been sonically and digitally remastered with love and is presented complete with sleeve notes, original label artwork and full length extended disco editions.\u003c\/span\u003e","brand":"South Records Ltd","offers":[{"title":"2CD","offer_id":2804740484,"sku":null,"price":14.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"2LP","offer_id":695562207250,"sku":null,"price":21.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"2LP (Part 2)","offer_id":695562240018,"sku":null,"price":21.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0342\/2497\/products\/various-disco-2-a-further-fine-selection-1976-1980-south-records-ltd.jpg?v=1571438671"},{"product_id":"marvin-peterson-the-soulmasters-in-concert","title":"Marvin Peterson \u0026 The Soulmasters - In Concert","description":"\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eOf all the Holy Grail LPs that we've reissued so far, this is quite possibly the rarest of the rare, with a miniscule 50 copies of the original album having been pressed up 40 or so years ago.

However, when he entered the Hitsville studio on June 1st to cut a new single, Marvin hungered for more. All over the world social unrest was prompting political activism and cultural revolution. Yet the Motown hit production line carried on like nothing was happening. Marvin longed to make a statement that would reflect the new reality, so when Al Cleveland and The Four Tops' Obie Benson brought him the framework of a song called \"What's Going On\", he jumped at the chance to record it. Initially rejected by Motown, the track went on to become a runaway smash, and the label demanded a full length LP to capitalize on sales. Recorded in ten days in March 1971 the \"What's Going On\" album features co-writing credits from awesome session band the Funk Brothers, as well as brass and string arrangements by David Van De Pitte. The heady mix of percussive-heavy grooves, luxurious fills and Marvin's sweet vocals became an instant classic.

From the Coleridge-Taylor Perkinson string and horn arrangements to Leon Ware's exotic production that relied on keyboards as well as drums and bass as rhythm instruments, \"I Want You\" was a giant leap for Gaye. The feel of the album is one of late-night parties in basements and small clubs, and the intimacy of the music evokes the image of people getting closer as every hour of a steamy night wears on. By the time it is over, the listener should be a blissed-out container of amorous vibes. \"I Want You\" is a pre-eminent early disco concept album, an adult record about intimacy, sensuality, and commitment, and decades later it still reverberates with class, sincerity, grace, intense focus, and astonishingly good taste.

Eager to sound as American as possible with no hint of the fervor for afro-beat, afro-rock and afrocentric thinking that the 1970s had thrown up, a new generation of young artists and performers turned their backs on their cultural roots in music and sought a new kind of stardom and fame firmly connected to the glossy, snazzy world of the 1980s that was erupting in the USA and Europe.The 1970s flares and cuban heels began to disappear, in their place came sleek suits, rolled-up sleeves, bow-ties, jumpsuits, leather jackets, greased hair and a firm nod in the stylistic direction of Michael Jackson.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\u003c\/div\u003e\r\u003cdiv class=\"st__content-block st__content-block--text\"\u003e\r\u003cp\u003e3LP - Triple Vinyl in Gatefold Sleeve with Download, bonus 7\" and Large 8 Page Booklet.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"South Records Ltd","offers":[{"title":"3LP+7\"","offer_id":28717131282,"sku":null,"price":22.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0342\/2497\/products\/various-doing-it-in-lagos-boogie-pop-and-disco-in-1980s-nigeria-south-records-ltd.jpg?v=1571438747"},{"product_id":"the-soul-surfers-soul-rock","title":"The Soul Surfers - Soul Rock!","description":"\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\"If, in the mid '90s, when I first heard real ‚Ä∞√õ√ènew‚Ä∞€ù funk and soul music made by the likes of Poets of Rhythm and the Desco crew ‚Ä∞√õ√í that in 2015 some of the realest funk left to be recorded would come from Russia, I would have said you were out of your mind.

The mid 1970s sure was a man's world. And those blue-eyed soul boy, groove geniuses certainly were hot stuff. But their ambitious recording and partying antics, which were documented on Too Slow To Disco volumes 1 and 2, were mostly a guy-centred drama where the women seemed to be just decorations, mere backing vocalists to the men up front. In 'The Ladies of Too Slow To Disco' it's time to redress the balance. Not only does it feature big names like Carole King, Carly Simon or Rickie Lee Jones, Too Slow To Disco once again unearths lots of overlooked and lost gems of the 1970s LA music scene. These pioneering songwriters were determined to navigate their career on their own terms, while fighting an industry that was only marginally less machismo-driven than the mafia (and in some cases involved characters from both worlds). Chauvinism was the mood music de rigueur in the record biz of the 60s and 70s, and the dawning of sexual liberation as often as not left women holding the baby. But battling through, these women writers and performers redefined what pop music could do, and in doing so, charted the path for the women that followed. You'll find plenty more of that sophisticated West coast pop sound you know we love, where the tune and the groove and the lyrics just fuse together, in a kind of endless sunlight. Take the cruelly overlooked Leah Kunkel's 'Temptation', a total earworm, beautifully played with session musicianship from members of Toto. Leah was the younger sister of Cass Elliot from the Mamas and the Papas, and perhaps wary of comparisons mostly lived the session singer life until she stepped out into the limelight in the late 70s with this lost gem and two underrated and forgotten albums.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e2LP - Double 180 Gram Vinyl.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"South Records Ltd","offers":[{"title":"2LP","offer_id":30038712594,"sku":null,"price":18.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0342\/2497\/products\/various-the-ladies-of-too-slow-to-disco-south-records-ltd.jpg?v=1571438761"},{"product_id":"william-onyeabor-atomic-bomb","title":"William Onyeabor - Atomic Bomb","description":"\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eA lot of people fell in love with the music of Nigerian artist William Onyeabor after Luaka Bop released \u003cem\u003eWho is‚Ä∞√õ_?\u003c\/em\u003e two years ago.

With its unrivalled band of session musicians and producers, rock ‚Ä∞√õ√∑n‚Ä∞€™ roll and R\u0026amp;B hits poured out from Cosimo Matassa‚Ä∞€™s studios. Only Elvis Presley sold more records than Fats Domino in the decade and Little Richard, Lloyd Price and Huey Smith weren‚Ä∞€™t far behind. One of the key men in the next decade was Wardell Quezergue, an arranger and producer whose musical abilities earned him the nickname ‚Ä∞√õ√èThe Creole Beethoven‚Ä∞€ù. A majority of the songs here bear witness to his talents, as he was a partner in several labels including Nola Records, with its array of subsidiary concerns such as Bonatemp, Whurley-Burley and Hot Line. These and other small companies were the musical heartbeat of the Crescent City all seeking that big, big hit. Over 400 singles were issued in the year 1966 and this album collects the pick of them.
