{"product_id":"new-breed-r-b-with-added-popcorn","title":"New Breed R\u0026B With Added Popcorn","description":"\u003ch5\u003eMore Info\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe third of Kent's ventures into the world of R\u0026amp;B dance music goes one step further by including tracks suited to the Belgian Popcorn scene. This genre of music grew up in the early 70s when, like the UK's Northern Soul scene, the hip teenagers of their day preferred the original dance music of the 60s to the records that were coming out of the US and UK at that time. Many sounds first played on the Popcorn scene - such as Sam Fletcher's `I'd Think It Over' - were then spun on the Northern scene too. The cross-pollinisation between collectors and scenes then continued so much, that many erstwhile Northern fans became converted into full-on Popcorn believers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe grittier end of the soul spectrum is provided by Goldwax's Barbara Perry whose `A Man Is A Mean Thing' has to be heard to be believed and midway through the recording it features a tempo acceleration that Jeremy Clarkson would be stunned by! Barbara Brown, Albert Washington and the Charmaines (massive with the Mods + first time on CD) also provide tough, uptempo soul productions which are ideal for the dancefloor.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOther previously unreleased material comes from Gladys Tyler whose `Someone Else Has Taken My Place' has been played on acetate by top, pioneering R\u0026amp;B DJ Roger Banks for nearly ten years now. Other 60s R\u0026amp;B tracks include Banny Price's in-demand `You Love Me Pretty Baby' and Marry\/Merry Clayton's very rare first 45 `I've Got My Eyes On You'. The myth of Mr Dynamite's James Brown inspired opus `Sh'mon' is also finally nailed!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis CD is aimed primarily at the late 50s-early 60s R\u0026amp;B crowd and avoids the poppier excesses of the Popcorn scene. The opening track will make all lovers of black music positively delirious as Kent finally present (after over five years of Northern Soul club action) Luther Ingram's unissued master tape version of Fred Bridges and Harrison Smith's `Oh Baby Don't You Weep'. From the very first spin it has been a success and has gone on to acquire \"massive\" status. Worth the price of admission alone!!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis glorious package is also enhanced with the usual highly informative booklet that features some gorgeous memorabilia.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eTracklist\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e1    Oh Baby Don't You Weep - Luther Ingram\u003cbr\u003e2    She Wobbles When She Walks - Paul Clifton\u003cbr\u003e3    You Love Me Pretty Baby - Banny Price\u003cbr\u003e4    Mata Hari - Chet 'Poison' Ivey\u003cbr\u003e5    I've Got A Feeling For You Baby - Gladys Bruce\u003cbr\u003e6    I'm Gonna Start A War - The Browns\u003cbr\u003e7    Sh'Mon - Mr Dynamite\u003cbr\u003e8    Shirley Jean - Gene Burks\u003cbr\u003e9    Too Young - Boyce Cunningham\u003cbr\u003e10    Big Ben - Harold Atkins\u003cbr\u003e11    Coal Miner - Nappy Brown\u003cbr\u003e12    Tumbling Down - Tom Tumbleweed\u003cbr\u003e13    Beautician Blues - B.B.
