All 3 Albums were Recorded by Ray Dobard(Owner) in Oakland, California between 1971-1975 . Omnivore Recordings takes you back to the early 1970s for three volumes of various artists, vinyl-only, Bay Area funk, soul, and R&B! Richmond, California, boasts a defiantly working-class blue-collar landscape. It's a tough, no-nonsense comprised environment, where the street rules supreme. In the 1970s, the city began a still ongoing tug-of-war between redevelopment and urban decay . Richmond has produced some of the most vibrant and engaging musical talent to emerge from the East Bay fixture throughout the 1970s and 1980s in the entire San Francisco Bay Area, particularly in the R&B field. The struggles of Richmond are reflected in its music with a large African-American community of the East Bay Area of Richmond,Oakland, & Berkley. Oone place where a hopeful soul or R&B act got to put down the sound was the funky East 14th Locale of Ray Dobards Music City recording Studios in Oakland. This particular album demonstrates the talent of that area,its hard edged uncompromising Funk not for the faint hearted or purists!..Ive alredy posted a few albums from this great label and more to come!
