CLARENCE REID 黑胶唱片和CD

Review: Super prolific Georgia-born songwriter Clarence Reid's fingerprints are all over the soul game whether it's as a writer and arranger for the likes of Betty Write and The Dells or as a solo artist himself. Reid's sound and style helped to characterise TK Sound and its sister label Alston and his third album Running Water is a perfect example as it ranges from funk-fuelled slippery instrumentation of "If It Was Good Enough For Daddy" to gospel level boogie of "Ruby" by way of yearning ballads that will stop you in your tracks such as "Real Woman". 45 years old and still squeezing hearts.

Review: Another Super Soul limited edition rarity, lovingly restored from the original master tapes. Super Soul brother Clarence Reid was not initially associated with the Northern Soul scene, having been better known as the writer of many a funk and disco hit. However "I'm Your Yes Man" flew under the radar and failed to move in any significant numbers when it initially surfaced - making it one of the rarest titles to come out on the Wand label - and as such became a highly prized spin on the Northern Soul scene. 500 copies and that's it.
