Soul4Real Records is back at it with two more 4-song "Reserva Especial" EPs of vintage soul delights from the vaults of Bell/Amy and RCA.

The first EP, focused on Bell and Amy, features two originally unreleased tracks by The O’Jays and Solomon Burke (his soulful reading of the George Jones country classic "She Thinks I Still Care" turned up on the Proud Mary: The Bell Sessions CD from 2000), alongside two beloved album cuts by Dan Penn ("Raining In Memphis" off the Nobody's Fool LP) and Lee Dorsey ("Don't You Ever Leave Me" from the Working In A Coal Mine LP), making their debut on 45.

Copyright aka Circle C's stellar 1991 debut album getting long overdue vinyl issue

Better 35 years late than never, Circle C's brilliant self-titled debut will finally appear on vinyl via Porterhouse Records on December 7th.

Here's the scoop...

Circle C rose from the ashes of Vancouver's critical darlings Slow, who made huge waves centered around intense and out of control live performances that gave them the reputation as “Vancouver’s most notorious rock band.”
Lost to the sands of time until now this epic recording will be celebrated on the occasion of its 35th Anniversary with a first ever vinyl release on Porterhouse. Circle C's S/T is broadly recognized by critics and fans as a “lost masterpiece” and “the most underrated rock album of all time,” and those fans are absolutely right.
Landing somewhere between ‘Exile on Main Street’ and a punked up ‘Houses of the Holy’ this recording was a broad and epic undertaking that stands the test of time. It’s a stone cold classic and you do not want to miss an opportunity to own a copy of this record on wax.
Produced by John Porter (The Smiths, Roxy Music) the album is a sonic palate of thoughtful instrumentation and arrangement paired with stunning dynamics. Songwriting is top notch and it’s some of the best Canada has ever produced.
Since there are only 500 copies in this limited edition vinyl pressing of Circle C's S/T LP, you might wanna pre-order it now from Porterhouse Records (right here) because this one will most likely never be pressed again. Out December 7th in Canada with orders for the rest of the world shipping in January. Watch a vintage TV feature on Circle C followed by an audio clip of the entire album below.
