  • Dors Troy gets 'Just One Look' :



    They look like all the same disc Molly....is it a retro company? I like the vids.
    Yeah, available from ACE Records :

    Kent


    Rhythm & Blues, 60s Soul, Mod/Club, 70s Soul, Deep Soul, Northern Soul, Southern Soul, Vocal Jazz, Psych / Garage

    Way back in 1982 a callow northern youth would visit Ted Carroll’s Rock On record stall on Golborne Road in West London. He used to buy the 60s soul singles that the old vinyl merchant had plundered from warehouses and old shop stock on his travels. This interest in a music that was not particularly cherished in London at that time led to Ted asking this son of Market Harborough to stick together 15 singles from Los Angeles’ Kent and Modern labels and come up with an LP. That would satisfy all those pesky young mods who pestered Ted for some “soul like what all the original mods used to lissen to”. Pinching the title from a popular Popcorn single of the time, the soul brother, we’ll call him Horace, came up with “For Dancers Only” a selection of Northern Soul stompers, girl group floaters, male vocal harmonies and low down Rhythm & Blues.
