VARIOUS ARTISTS New York City Soul 1985 256+ VBR LAME mp3 Vinyl rip & scans from Kent 043
The Megatons - Detroit Sound
Bobby Hebb - Proud Soul Heritage
Continuing with Kent, here's another assortment of NYC soul to accompany the Big City Soul collection posted a couple weeks ago. Not as strong an assortment, there's still some killers on here - as always. Personal fave here is the dope Detroit Sound by The Megatons, who bashed their bomb out in a bathroom, giving it a lo-fi sound that software just can't simulate. An oddity here is the anachronistic Proud Soul Heritage performed by Bobby Hebb, the man who The Beatles brought from the penthouse to the outhouse in a few scant days of opening his US tour. This updated version of PSH was actually the 7" b-side to a discofied version of his massive hit Sunny.
Speaking of which, this past week I picked up Hebb's Sunny LP in a lot of 500 albums I scooped up for $400. Although it was mainly a collection of 60s pop, psych, blues rock and country there were a few dozen nice little nuggets of doo wop, soul and jazz of which more than a few will likely find their way to Soundological. In the meantime, you Kent go wrong with another comp from Croasdell's ace imprint!

Thank you so much for the KENT releases. I bought them on vinyl & CD back in the day and slowly lost or lent them. Good to hear them again.
Hi Great Site you have here! was hoping to grab the KENT and other albums, but all the download links seem to be down.... can anyone tell me is the site still operating? thanks
Just tryin' to put back into the music blogosphere by fillin' in any blanks I can with out-of-print vinyl as well as the occasional mix, remix, re-edit, art or rant. But mostly vinyl. Mostly.
