Soul4Real recirculates Sound Stage 7 & Muscle Shoals soul gems on new EPs

Soul4Real is digging into the vaults of Muscle Shoals Sound and John Richbourg's SS7 & Seventy-Seven for two new soul EPs. Check 'em out!

Muscle Shoals Sound

S4R49 focuses on the legendary MUSCLE SHOALS SOUND STUDIO and features four previously unreleased tracks: two by the wonderful Katie Love; a fabulous version of Phillip Mitchell’s "Hitch Hike to Heartbreak Road" by Curtis Wiggins which more people may know from the version cut by Bobo Mr. Soul; and an exquisite song from Sandra Wright’s lost session at the studio, written by George Jackson and recorded in January 1978—proof that the magic was still alive.






Sound Stage 7 / Seventy-Seven
S4R48 is dedicated to John Richbourg’s iconic labels, SOUND STAGE 7 and SEVENTY SEVEN, featuring the main man Joe Simon and the much-missed Ann Sexton on two album tracks available for the first time on 7”. Completing the EP are two originally unreleased tracks: Roscoe Shelton’s well-known Northern Soul classic "You’re the Dream", and another deep soul gem by Texan Vernon "Geater" Davis, "I'll Meet You."
