Kent presents a second volume from Gerry Purcell’s New York-based GWP label.

Purcell made his money through managing major US middle-of-the-road artists like Eddy Arnold and Al Hirt. His entry into the R&B field was largely unsuccessful in terms of hits but he assembled some of the cream of New York talent to create very high quality soul music.

All of the GWP soul releases were of merit, but some of the tapes found in the vaults were exemplary. Unissued dance tracks by Lillie Fields, Larry Banks & Jaibi, Bobby Penn and the Devonnes are already big 100 Club records from advance acetate plays.

The Hesitations’ ‘Go Away’ has had advance play on the modern soul scene from its limited appearance on a 100 Club anniversary single two years ago. Alice Clark’s Northern classic ‘You Hit Me’ was a GWP production and we feature her version of the Plus Four’s ‘Happiest Girl In The World’.

Benny Gordon contributes three southern soul sides, including a killer version of Maxine Brown’s ‘All In My Mind’, while Little Rose Little gives a powerhouse interpretation of the old standard ‘Tennessee Waltz’. If you enjoyed the “Larry Banks’ Soul Family Album” this is a must. – Ace Records
