Rare Terry Callier, Laura Lee & Bobby Womack recordings due from Soul4Real

Soul4Real Records is digging into the vaults of Chess and Sam Cooke's SAR labels for a new series of 7" EPs.

Here's the scoop from Spain's Soul4Real HQ...

We're launching the ๐˜™๐˜ฆ๐˜ด๐˜ฆ๐˜ณ๐˜ท๐˜ข ๐˜Œ๐˜ด๐˜ฑ๐˜ฆ๐˜ค๐˜ช๐˜ข๐˜ญ series with two EPs dedicated to Sam Cooke’s SAR Records and the Chess label (including its subsidiary, Cadet).

The SAR EP shines a spotlight on the Womack family, initially known as the Womack Brothers before transitioning into R&B as The Valentinos. Three of the four tracks are originally unreleased, while the fourth is the Womack Brothers’ version of “Couldn’t Hear Nobody Pray” (SAR 123)—a virtually impossible-to-find gem that predates “Looking For A Love” by a year. Thanks to Friendly Womack for his help on this project.

The Chess/Cadet EP features songs by Laura Lee and Irma Thomas, recorded in the late ’60s at FAME Studios, along with some of the most sophisticated productions from Cadet, represented by Terry Callier. All tracks are originally unreleased and are making their debut on 7” vinyl.
