The Numero Group

Written by cfulton on
Stax, Motown, Brunswick, Philly International, if you've dabbled enough in the great powerhouses of 60's and 70's R&B;, these were the labels showering America with the the instant classics of the Soul era. On the other hand, there were plenty of not-so-instant R&B hits which are only now being assembled and re released, reaching a much larger audience than originally sought. Assembled by the Numero Group , Eccentric Soul is designed to unearth Soul and R&B; treasures from les ser known labels which cropped up in every mid-sized city around the country during the early 1960’s.
