Recommended new releases – 6th March 2015

New releases

What a great week for releases not only in quantity but the quality is very high this week.
Atlanta soul singer Rhonda Thomas has made what i believe will be one of the Soul albums of the year in ‘Vinyl Daze’, amazing album. There are also really strong albums from Kenya, Tristan and Carmen Rodgers. D’Angelo Black Messiah comes out of vinyl at last. There are good jazz albums from Bill Dickens, Fresh cut Orchestra, Marc Cary and Joey Sommerville, and a couple of Soulful house gems from Papa records and DJ Spinna.

Reissues

There are welcome reissues from Cameo, Azymuth, Les Mccann, Shakatak amongst others.
The Odyssey – a Northern Soul time capsule is an incredible mammoth 8CD/2 DVD Definitive box set. Spiritual Jazz vol 6  is the strongest yet in this popular series, this time concentrating on tracks with vocals. Joey Negro and Sean P compile two volumes of early 80’s funky boogie with Superfunkanova vol 1 and 2.

For vinyl collectors don’t miss the special edition of Lyn Collins’Think’ with bonus 45. the Neo ‘Smile’ 45 is finally with us, its a great modern soul dancer, and Saun and Star serve up another great retro soul 45 with ‘Get Closer’.
