Here Come The Tears - Various Artists - Now in stock

Soul4Real has consistently released quality soul music, with many incredible tracks being released on vinyl for the first time ever. This latest package is no exception to that mighty rule and is nothing less than unmissable. But don't take our word for it, here's what soul music guru, Tony Rounce has to say.........

Soul4Real continues to provide invaluable service to lovers of quality soul music from the 1960's and 1970's, with another carefully curated long-playing selection of carefully curated music from the enormous vaults of the Ertugen brothers and Jerry Wexler's Atlantic group of labels.

Atlantic was and still is based in New York, but its repertoire came from all over the USA. In 'Here Come The Tears' you will hear music from Detroit, Miami, New Orleans, Philadelphia, Houston, Memphis and the Big Apple itself. Most of the featured artists need no introduction - and that's how it should be, for they are all legends of black American music, regardless of how they fared in the US charts. Some tracks are big ticket items, others can be found on 45 at pocket-friendly prices. Four have never been issued on vinyl until now, including the Drifters' long-thought-lost version of the O'Jays' 'I Dig Your Act' and Judy Clay's thrilling take on 'The Love Of My Man' - written by Ed Townsend, who also produced the splendid Dee Dee Warwick track that makes its vinyl debut here.

One thing that all these tracks have in common, regardless of their vinyl value, is that they are priceless examples of soul music, from an ear when every US state had its own sound, and every artist had their own unique style. There is no reason to list highlights - every track is a highlight! There is also nothing that is generic or homogenised about anything you'll hear here - it's all coming straight from the heart
and soul. Whether you are hearing most of these tracks for the first time or getting reacquainted with 'old friends', there's more to enjoy on this one album than there is anything currently being issued in the name of 21st century soul.

For Real...
