Richmond Soul 45's part 3

Well - I hate to say I saved the best for last but I feel like I did this time. Not only does it have one of the best label designs of any 45 I've come across I don't feel like it's gotten it's due in the realm of local 45's that people are after. Maybe this will change that! Amazing soul - some might call it Northern Soul but I don't have the time or energy to classify it under anything other then simply funk or soul. See for yourself! Soul Disciples on the Phantom label out of good ol' Richmond!

Richmond Soul 45's Part 2

So the second 45 is actually from Richmond without a doubt - The Soul Pushers on Ambush records. Wish I knew more about this one but I don't. The vinyl is a little noisy but I have no idea why as it's pretty much an unplayed copy. The second side of this 45 is where it's at! Check it!

Richmond Soul 45's

Ok - back after a bit of a break and decided to upload some more local stuff - this time out of Richmond. Rather then post some of the bigger records that are fairly well known I decided to share three that are a little more obscure. The first is a 45 by the Banks Bros on the Consolidated label. Although it's not from Richmond - but somewhere outside the DC area from what I gather - it's close enough I thought I'd throw it in. From what I know it was apparently put out by an actual bank - I have no idea if it was just backed by the bank or put out as an actual promotional item but it's still pretty odd. Didn't even like the tune at first but now it's grown on me - check it!
