Soul Strut 100: #100 Jr. and His Soulettes - Psychodelic Sounds

very nice to see this finally happen!





didnt knew this one before, so thanks for the introduction. dl and just skipped through, rock blues got some for me but in all, not really my cup of tea, bit too weird, could grow but i dont think so. but really looking forward to read the story and check it out in full at least once. Lets see, what a great Site this is!
 
How old were the players? It's a facemelter with that backstory.





I've never complied a personal top 100, so I can't say if this would make the cut, but that yootoob above is great. Good choice people!
 
rock's harold sr. story has always been one of the best.


i seem to recall someone on the board finding a copy years back? maybe one of the guys from rehash?
 
The back story is great. Semi-related; I worked at a large chain store in the late 80's with a shrink wrap machine. We opened and re-wrapped every record that came through the door (adding a tag). Dudes would turn the heat all the way up and the conveyor speed to compensate. The resulting pile-ups dished the fuck out of a lot of records. We falsified an insurance claim by running a hose over thousands of records when a pipe burst in a stairwell.





This is the shit

god knows where that old finds post is, but that was me. i turned up a decent-ish vg- unwarped playable copy like 4? 5? +??? years ago. i hadnt read the story and was totally unaware of the legend of this record at the time. i knew it was cool and weird based on how it looked, but thats it. When i realized what i had (after the Strut reacted and i did my homework) i was flabbergasted - mostly because it was found in upstate NY. my only clue is it was in a small stack of local rnb OK City records, (none of the others were particularly good). Whoever got rid of them to the guy i got them from must have been from OK and for whatever reason had headed north, only to dump his/her records along the way.





its pretty much my favorite, most treasured LP in my collection. i paid $40 if i recall correctly??? it was a haggle because the seller also liked the way it looked a lot. Neither of us had a clue about it.





im not sure why the record looks green in that one spot, must be the mylar sleeve.
