Product Description
Album Description
Fantasy Records’ Galaxy subsidiary had one of the best West Coast R&B catalogues of the mid-1960s, and A Galaxy Of Soul celebrates it with a killer selection of grooves drawn from the label’s vaults. While there are some acknowledged classics on display – including the label’s perennial hit, Rodger Collins’ ‘She’s Looking Good’, here presented for the first time from the original session tape – the vast majority of tracks are being reissued for the first time. Galaxy’s trademark was having blues and R&B acts update their sound to the sock-it-to-me one-two punch of mid-1960s dancefloor soul. Hence the fabulous sides from the likes of Collins, Charles Brown, Gale Anderson, and Sonny Rhodes. There’s James Brown-style pleading from Little Ronnie and the insistent groove of the self-contained Right Kind. Future funk notables Lenny Williams and Harold Andrews show up with some of their earliest releases. A Galaxy Of Soul also features rare titles from another Fantasy R&B subsidiary, Early Bird, including Pat Hunt, Buddy Conner and the stupendous Casanova II, plus a selection of titles from the Soul Clock and MIOB (Music Is Our Business) labels. It also includes in-demand items by the Fuller Brothers and Claude Huey. The package comes with top-notch sound, the result of many hours spent in tape research, plus copious notes that detail this fascinating period in West Coast soul history.
