Dore L a Soul Sides 2

This compilation is strong on harmony groups and uptempo West Coast soul from the best Los Angeles studios and using arrangers Miles Grayson, Gene Page, Ernie Freeman and Jack Eskew. Lew Bedell produced most of the recordings and wrote several sides too. The rarest of the rare is Little Johnny Hamilton's 'Keep On Movin'': there is only one known copy in existence. The same scenario applies to the Swans' punchy 'Nitty Gritty City', believed to have been withdrawn due to a pressing fault. The Milton James single is almost as scarce. Its beautiful flip ballad 'That's What Love Will Do' is on CD for the first time. It was re-recorded by the outfit for United Artists when they became War in 1971.
