CD KENT 30: BEST OF KENT NORTHERN 1982-2012

Popis - KENT 30: BEST OF KENT NORTHERN 1982-2012:
Celebrating 30 years since we released KENT 001, "For Dancers Only", this CD is a look at Kents history and heritage.
That first LP gets a nod with Gene & Garys duet of Danny Mondays Baby Without You, featured on CD for the first time here. There are a host of exclusives, several never having been out in any format before. Of these, Alexander Pattons True Love (Is In The Heart), will open traditional Northern fans eyes and ears the most, being from the same session and of a similar feel and quality to his A Lil Lovin Sometimes classic.
Marva Holidays Rising Higher is a fabulous Sherlie Matthews song that will be admired by progressive Northern 60s fans.
Modern soul has been a part of the Kent landscape since the "Moving On Up" vinyl album of 1984. We celebrate that branch of the music with Darrow Fletchers No Limit and the Paramount Fours anthemic Sorry Aint The Word both of which debut on CD. 70s soul fans may well buy the CD for these two alone.
Luther Ingram supplies the biggest R&B / Northern crossover number of them all, while Bobby Wisdom shows off with a potential price of 4000: if you can find one.
There are classy crowd pleasers including Toni & The Showmen, Sugar & The Spices, the Fiestas and the Sweethearts that have been marooned on Kent label stories, neglected by all but the pure in heart. Thirty stunning soul sounds, one for each glorious year. It is not only a celebration but a revelation too. Compilation and note by Ady Croasdell.
