New R&B discoveries continue to emerge and entertain the many followers of the New Breed musical cult; nobody finds more than the Kent connoisseurs.

Berna Deans two previously unheard recordings are by far her best. They were laid down at Cosimo Matassas New Orleans studios by GNP Crescendo but eschewed in favour of two relatively average sides. The great 50s R&B songwriter Jesse Stone provides a rocker for the much-admired Jimmy Breedlove and a super-catchy This Morning for an unknown mixed vocal group that has a joyous gospel feel. Jesse also penned Private Eye, a classic early 60s story-song, for Buddy Wilkins which was issued on Al Sears Tri-Ess imprint.

The title track is used twice, on two very different Fraternity recordings. Kenny Smiths version was issued in 1964 and has many followers, but the equally meritorious Coasters-inspired composition by the Citations is newly discovered. Win Menifees Im Runnin Around from the same Cincinnati label comes complete with a fascinating back-story.

There are three cover versions. Vermettya Roysters All Around The World is backed by James Browns 1961 band, while Roosevelt Lee's 1970 update of the 1947-originated Hey Little Girl funks the tune up a la Godfather of Soul. The cover that will make the biggest noise is undoubtedly west coast band the Afterglows version of Barbara Lynns evergreen dancer Im A Good Woman this is a future monster.
Golden Crest provides two fabulous male vocal group sides the swinging Whats On Your Mind by Eddie Dayes Four Bars and the delightful harmonies of the appropriately-named, but unknown Delights Mary Dont You Weep.

Blues still thrived into the 70s as Albert Washingtons mean and moody Case Of The Blues proves. Smokey Wilson took the music into the late 70s with the storming Goin Away Baby (Round Like An Apple), which benefits here from a 45-style edit. His Pioneer Club on 88th Street in South Central LA provides the atmospheric photo for this collection.

More early 60s movers come from Wilbur Hi-Fi White with Dont Look Now, future hit songwriter Johnny Madaras raucous You Make Me Mad and Big Boy Groves Bucket O Blood which brilliantly describes the kind of club these tracks would fit right into.
