{"product_id":"brent-superb-60s-soul-sounds","title":"Brent: Superb 60s Soul Sounds","description":"Liner Note Authors: Ady Croasdell; Rob Finnis.\u003cbr\u003eBrent was the '60s soul imprint for Bob Shad, a record man who began his career as a producer at Savoy and National. He was based in New York City but Brent showcased soul singers from across the country with a slight emphasis on Los Angeles. This history is told in Ady Croasdell's liner notes for Ace's 2014 compilation Brent: Superb 60s Soul Sounds, but the collection itself isn't so much a history as it is an excavation of what the label has in its vaults. Some of these was released at the time -- Brenton Wood's \"I Want Love,\" the Lovells' \"Here Come the Heartaches,\" etc. -- but there are also seven previously unreleased cuts here, along with a few sides that were unearthed relatively recently. Rarity is part of the appeal of this compilation -- this is music that just isn't widely circulated -- but it's also a pretty good example of uptown '60s soul, heavy on cool grooves, happy hooks, and sophisticated strut. If there's not really anything that's a knockout, at least it's all enjoyable and there's not a cut that breaks the spell. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine","brand":"MovieMars","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47378810306847,"sku":"029667242028","price":18.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0679\/7833\/0399\/files\/5368af3e8ae5efbb51296768e420e9fa_2b292f94-4756-4252-9906-8b854c70863d.jpg?v=1777810440","url":"https:\/\/www.moviemars.com\/products\/brent-superb-60s-soul-sounds","provider":"MovieMars","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
