Sunny and the Sunliners – Mr Brown Eyed Soul | Album of The Day

Sunny and The Sunliners have been making Latino Soul/Rhythm and Blues since the 60's. 'Mr Brown Eyed Soul Vol 2' is a nice album of ballads, mid tempo dancers and a couple of funkier tunes all delivered with very soulful vocals, nice harmony backing and real instrumentation including horns. There are some nice covers of Billy Stewart's 'Sitting In The Park', and Eddie Floyd's 'I've Never Found A Girl' along with some original tracks. 'I'm No Stranger' sounds like an early 70's Modern Soul crossover dancer, 'If I Could See You Know' is an uptempo  cut whilst 'Come Back Baby'...

Japanese CD’s

We've just recieved more copies of some of the previously sold out Japanese CD's that we had in. We don't know if these are the last that our supplier has but we've managed to source more titles of the CD's that were sold out very quickly the last time they were put on our site.

We aren't likely to be getting any more in. New titles include Eddie Palmieri's Harlem...

Denga – Robin Jones (JazzRoom Records) | Album Of The Day

Often affectionately referred to as the "Godfather of British Latin music" Robin Jones was truly one of the great performers on the international Latin scene, a multi-instrumentalist drummer/percussionist who went on to teach some of the leading lights in British percussion such as Mark “Snowboy” Cotgrove and Will Fry. His recordings and earlier tracks generated renewed interest in the London Jazz-Dance Scene in the late 70's, some of his recordings achieving iconic status on cooler floors across the capital and beyond.
