This is the real deal for Screamin Jay Hawkins – a full album of his first early work for the Okeh label in the mid 50s, stuff that was recorded long before his too-gimmicky records for mainstream audiences!

(Individually numbered limited edition of 1000 – on heavyweight red vinyl!)
A nice little set from Screamin Jay Hawkins – done during his surprising revival years at the end of the 60s – and with a nice new soulful twist, thanks to production from the excellent Huey P Meaux!

2 massive Isaac Hayes soundtracks in one set – both from the magical cinematic year of 1974! Truck Turner is a hard and heavy soundtrack that we like even more than his classic work on Shaft!

Isaac Hayes' first album as a solo act – and a much more stripped down record than his later baroque symphonic sides!

A stunning live example of Ike's amazing baroque soul for Stax!
