Eccentric Soul: Consolidated Productions Vol. 1 [2Lp] | Opaque Tan Vinyl

Operating in the farthest margins of L.A.'s cutthroat music business from 1961-1991, Mel Alexander's Consolidated Productions was among the longest running Black-owned independent record conglomerates of the 20th century. Caught up in a confusing web of imprints-including Ajax, Angel Town, Car-A-Mel, Emanuel, and Kris-this first volume gathers 28 smoldering R&B cuts by the likes of Lee Harvey, B.B. Carter, Marilyn Calloway, Del Reys, Deb Tones, De Velles, Gene Russell's Trio, Jimmy 'Preacher' Ellis, and Ty Karim. Remastered from the original 1/4' tapes, Consolidated Productions Vol. I includes carefully researched annotation, discography, and photographs from a vital producer.
