£35.99
Format
28 smouldering R&B cuts
Currently good stock Limited stock Currently unavailable

Operating in the farthest margins of L.A.’s cutthroat music business from 1961-1991, Mel Alexander’s Consolidated Productions was among the longest running Black-owned independent record conglomerates of the 20th century. Caught up in a confusing web of imprints - including Ajax, A ngel Town, Car-A-Mel, Emanuel, and Kris - this first volume gathers 28 smouldering R&B cuts by the likes of Lee Harvey, B.B. Carter, Marilyn Calloway, Del Reys, Deb Tones, De Velles, Gene Russell’s Trio, Jimmy “Preacher” Ellis, and Ty Karim.

 

+ Remastered from the original 1/4” tapes.

+ Includes carefully researched annotation, discography, and pho tographs from a vital producer.

Edition Info

• Available in limited 'Car-A-Mel' (opaque tan) coloured vinyl.
