This LP was originally posted in September, 2007 but the post was rewritten some years later. For this re-up I have included new cover scans as the original scans dated from a time when I hadn't quite mastered the art of scanning a 12" LP sleeve. The volume on the tracks has been boosted using MP3Gain. The re-up also includes a folder of EP cover scans and 45 rpm single label shots from Joan K.
As for the music, this is one hell of a collection of dynamite R&B instrumentals. Satisfaction guaranteed!

Thank you for this masterpiece!

You're welcome Kurt! Your other request is "in hand" - researching additional info to go with the re-up, but new label scans have been completed. Should appear in a couple of days.

thank you very much!!!
ReplyDeleteThx for all the amazing comps you share! Nice to hear someone else uses MP3Gain. It's been indispensible for me for over a decade.
ReplyDeleteThanks Clarence. Nowadays I tend to do volume boosting and normalizing at the WAV editing stage of converting my vinyl. Magix Audio Cleaner is good for that. I still use MP3Gain on older rips, and yes I agree that it has been an invaluable program for getting the best out of my mp3 collection.
ReplyDeleteA little suggestion to all Sonny Thompson fans. You Tube has lots and lots of Sonny Thompson music. Check it out, it's worth it! (Beware, there's a basist also named Sonny Thompson, but with a totally different kind of music.)

YouTube is a joy for fans of old R&B, Jazz and Rock'n'Roll. Beware - you go on intending to listen to a track or two and three hours later you're wondering where the time has gone. I particularly enjoy the posts by people who play the original 78s and 45s.
