Back To The Beat: Rare Breed Rhythm & Soul 1956-1962 / Various

Release Date:07/28/2017;Notes:Limited vinyl LP pressing. Combined here are the explosive talents of R&B and Soul music history featuring such legends as Joe Simon, Nina Simone, Bobby Adams, Grover Mitchell and Eddie Banks with his Five Dreamers. Back To The Beat bursts into action with a mighty fine slice of Tennessee soul courtesy of happy-go-lucky Herbert Hunter, a top-off that defines the beat and is the first of two sides from Ted Jarrett's Poncello imprint, the second being Ricky Rezell's storming "What You Bet". The pace is relentless as the heavyweights of rhythm and soul power through the set that pairs northern soul favorites Dean Barlow and the Profiles alongside the ferocious Bertha Tillman, Big Boy Myles and Mary Johnson. Dale Cunningham closes proceedings with the rarest of the original 45s, the big-money "Too Young". The Legend Of northern soul Continues.;Track List:1. Herbert Hunter - the Big Oak Tree;2.
