Various Artists - Eccentric Soul The Deep City Label (2006) Numero CD + Bonus Tracks (FLAC)

Willie Clarke, Johnny Pearsall, Clarence Reid, and Arnold Albury set up Miami,s first black record company,years before Henry Stone built his empire In Florida. These guys were knocking out brassy raw uptempo dancers, funk and echo laden ballads by future hitmakers Betty Wright, Clarence "Blowfly" Reid, and Paul Kelly, plus a dozen hit & miss sides by Helene Smith, as well as a slew of 45s bearing the Deep City, Lloyd, and Reid labels, all well known to this collector and many others. This Florida label is essential for any lover of soul music and this album is a taster to tomorrows SUNDAY REVIEW ON DEEP CITY which is one on the best Docu,s i have ever seen. Willie Clarke and company took separate roads toward Henry Stone's mighty TK empire whilst others did not. This is the first of Numero's twin Florida soul volumes, the next volume "The Outskirts of Deep City" is on its way! I have included 6 bonus tracks from the vinyl copy that are an integral part of the story of this legendary label. Rare northern,funk,ballads from this iconic label. BONUS TRACKS LISTED UNDER BACK COVER.
