Various Artists - For Dancers Forty - [Vinyl]

� Celebrating 40 years since the game-changing �For Dancers Only� LP, KENT 001, �For Dancers Forty� revisits the Los Angeles labels that have given us so much. � Like KENT 001, the collection represents the broad church of the Biharis� recordings and features soul stompers, rhythm & blues busters, girly grooves and heavenly harmony. � Most tracks are new to Kent LPs and there�s a brand new 1966 soul recording from 50s Modern R&B artists Aaron Collins & the Teen Queens. Long-time Kent favourites Jackie Day, Z.Z. Hill and Johnny Copeland are included with some of their underplayed tracks - for Copeland it�s the first vinyl outing for his dancer �I Was Born To Love You�. As ever on our rare soul scene, it�s the lesser-known artists who we revel in and there are stunning tracks from the Simms Twins, the Marvellos, the Intentions and the in-demand (due to the Kent 45 being deleted) �I Got Love� by the Other Brothers. � Tommy Youngblood�s LP track �Tobacco Road North� has been a sleeper, eventually being picked up by hip hop samplers for its atmospheric musical qualities - and we at last give its proper accreditation after decades of misinformation. Little Joe Hinton�s �Tired Of Walkin�� is now looked on as an R&B dance classic, despite its poor sales on release. � The Sweethearts adorn our cover with a recently discovered colour photo from the archives of Modern�s head engineer Bill Lazerus. Apart from their bouncy �This Couldn�t Be Me�, they provided backing for many of the stable�s 60s recordings. � You Have �Only�, �Also� and �Forever� - make space for �Forty�
