Various 8211 Eccentric Soul The Saru Label 2LP

The 20th volume of our flagship Eccentric Soul series has all the boxes checked: Gun-toting, skip-tracing record producers, child stars, rip-offs, the Worlds Greatest Bail Bondsman, swindles, soaring falsettos, and a dwindling rust-belt cityscape offering mere glimpses of hope before the record industry escaped for the coasts. Helmed by the OJays Bobby Massey, Saru was a creative vortex that pulled Cuyahoga Countys greatest talent in, making a strong case for Cleveland to contend with Detroit, Philly, and Memphis as Americas soul musics capital. Deluxe compact disc includes 25 obscure and unknown sides from the Out of Sights, the Elements, Pandella Kelly, David Peoples, Sir Stanley, the Ponderosa Twins + 1, Ba-Roz, Bobby Dukes, and of course, the OJays.
