商品詳細情報

スイスの新鋭レーベル、「SOUL THRILLS」のリリースを取り扱い開始! 今のところ国内ではディスクユニオンだけ! (のはず。。)

「こりゃプロの仕業だな。。。」と思わせる納得のリリース2タイトルが入荷! どちらも500枚限定プレスですのでお見逃しなく!

こちらはリリース第二弾。よほどのコレクターでも存在を知るものは少ないのでは? と思われる逸品。アトランタの自主制作盤のようで、流通は全くされれずごくごく少数のみ地元で出回ったようです。そのためオリジナルは信じられない程のレア盤で、名前は明かされていないものの、極少数のコレクターやDJのプレイリストには入っているとのこと。特におすすめはB面のダンサブルなナンバー。ギターのカッティングとホーン隊。そしてちょっぴり下手な歌が哀愁を誘います。

※今回はラベルをオリジナルとほとんど同じに再現してのオフィシャル・リイシュー。マトリクス・ナンバーにSOUL THRILLSの規格番号が入っています。素晴らしい。

///STORY///
Born and raised on a small farm in Laurens County Dublin, the heart of Georgia, lead singer and guitarist Early Clover started his own band "Early Clover and The Bosa Novas" at the age of 14 in Wrightsville, GA. In 1967, he changed the band's name to "the Middle Georgia Soul Drifters". The string band consisted of Early Clover, James Leggett, Benjamin Hodges, Wayne Hodges, William Wright, Josephus Miller, Pete Brown, and Marvin Jones (Dressed in blue uniforms).
They became very popular locally and began to expand and excel throughout the southern chitlin circuit and beyond, which included being the backup band for such acts as Rufus Thomas, Joe Simon, William Bell, Jay Hines, Nancy Butts, and opening for such acts as Tyrone Davis, Marvin Sease, Clarence Carter, Betty Wright and Full Force to name a few. They recorded their first single "Think It Over" and "Freedom" in 1977 at Capricorn Studios in Macon, GA which did very well for them but later lead to a breakup of the group.

Early Clover then put together some musicians and went to Haywood Recording Studios in Atlanta, Georgia, and recorded "Who Are You" and "I Wanna Take A Chance With You" in 1977 to be a part of an album, but went on the road and didn't complete the album but performed the song live a year and a half before releasing it as a 45 rpm single. The group thrived for a decade and a half and later went their separate ways. Early Clover still performs with his present version of Early Clover and the Soul Drifters.
