This anthology – the first to survey the lofty 60s and 70s achievements of Lee Anthony’s legendary Little Rock, Arkansas-based True Soul Records – has been 13 (!) years in the making. It’s so expansive that had to release it in two parts on CD, and as a 4 LP box set.
Download: Classic Funk “Funk’s Gonna Fly.”
The LA Weekly had some nice things to say about our 2-volume True Soul anthology. An excerpt:
“Lee Anthony grew up in that very shack in the days of violent segregation, went on to teach high school, run a record store and a recording studio and, crucially, release a string of marvelous soul and funk singles. That shack label now is sought after obsessively by collectors of the genre worldwide and big-name sample artists such as DJ Shadow and Cut Chemist.”
We’re now offering a pre-sale of the CD/DVD of Vol. 1 at Stones Throw’s webstore; Vol. 2, and the deluxe 4 LP box set will be available on Monday, July 27th.
