Various Artists - Eccentric Soul - The Outskirts of Deep City (2007) Numero + Bonus Tracks - Rare Soul (FLAC)

Deep City Left unexplored by record company,s till numero started digging into its Reid, Sun Cut, and Lloyd labels. Someone stumbled inside a closet that time forgot, a box of tapes was discovered to the astonishment of everyone concerned. Its masters and cracked acetates filled in areas of the map that collectors and numero considered lost forever. Unreleased songs by Snoopy Dean and the Rollers, a rumored to exist Clarence Reid 45, found! & a flood of instrumentals from the Deep City Band featuring the ex-100s in top form. A new cast of characters emerged, Arnold Albury led numero to his Sun Cut archive and the music of The Rising Sun, Lynn Williams, and Perk “The Soul Percolator” Badger. Their own archives yielded leftbehind gems from Helene Smith, 12 years old Betty Wright, Nasty Dog Catchers, and Frank Williams, that were previously overlooked. Willie Clarke canvassed Miami, collecting photographs, flyers, newspaper clippings, and yearbooks, helping numero dig deeper than ever before. The result is a rich appendix, not just to this album, but to every other Miami soul compilation ever issued. A superb sequel to the previous post. More great gems from deep city!..Once again ive included 4 tracks from the LP as bonus tracks not on the CD LISTED UNDER BACK COVER,as usual its a great cross section of Northern In Demanders,Funk,& Pure Soul ballads in all their raw uncomprimising glory!
