beautiful compilation by the Numero Group: great package, great music, super quality!
label text:
After a box of thought-to-be-lost Deep City master tapes turned up in Miami in January of 2007, an idea both fascinating and ugly reared its head: sequel. Disgusted by the thought of merely making one record to capitalize on the sucess of the first, we sought to turn the idea on it's head.
Instead of rehashing and expanding upon an already established story, "The Outskirts Of Deep City serves to color in the spaces left open by it's predecessor. In addition to seven previously unissued tracks, we've added thirteen other releated gems from the Solid Soul, Sun Cut, Reedsville, Lloyd, and Concho labels, and four LP-only bonus cuts.
Old style tip-on gatefold sleeve for the vinyl, 32 page booklet housed in a Numero slipcase for the CD, with both featuring a wealth of unpublished photographs, an appendix, bibliography, and discography.
Featuring unheard cuts by Clarence Reid, Helene Smith, Betty Wright, Frank Williams & the Rocketeers, Johnny K Killens & The Dynamites, James Knight & The Butlers, Deep City Band, The Rising Sun, The Rollers, Perk Badger, Snoopy Dean, Nasty Dog Catchers, and Lynn Williams.
