KENT/UK Strikes Again!, November 26, 2010
This review is from: Can't Be Satisfied: XL and the Sounds of Memphis Story (Audio CD)
I have never heard an album from KENT/UK that I didn't like. KENT/UK is one of the imprints from ACE/UK and it specializes in Northern Soul and Deep Soul. ACE/UK is like Britain's answer to Bear Family Records in Germany as they both offer high-quality reissues and remasters of rock, soul, blues and other roots music. Enough background.
This album features recordings from the XL and Sounds of Memphis labels from the 60's and early 70's. XL struck gold in 1965 with Wooly Bully by Sam the Sham and the Pharaohs- supposedly the biggest hit ever to emerge from Memphis. With their share of the profits they were able to build a new studio and pursue the music they loved without worrying about whether it would sell.
