Store Categories HARVEY SCALES & THE SEVEN SOUNDS - Love-Itis / 2xLP BRAND NEW VINYL / SOUL-TAY-SHUS
It is inexplicable that Harvey Scales did not attain the same level of fame as Wilson Pickett or Otis Redding. A master stylist and natural performer, road tested in every aspect of R&B, Harvey earned the title of the Midwest's Godfather of Soul. This anthology features all of his rare and previously unreissued 45's from Lenny LaCour's mercurial Magic Touch label. The CD ranges from gritty Stax-styled soul to heavy funk recorded between 1967-1977. These singles were originally distributed through Atlantic, Volt, Atco & Chess. From his earliest days, Harvey was a national talent in a secondary market. After charting two singles, they became legends throughout Wisconsin and much of the Midwest. Discover these lost gems, which rank among the best of the genre. This release features 16 pages of extensive liner notes and several previously unpublished photographs and ephemera. It also features four songs that were transferred from the original master tapes.
