Backatcha Records (BK035)

2x Vinyl LP Album Compilation Remastered

Release date: Jan 1, 2021, UK

Backatcha Records present a collection of sixteen sought after independent soul cuts, recorded between 1971-1984 from across the US and beyond.


70s Californian psych-folk, downtempo ballads from the Southern states, mid-tempo gems and sweet soul from the Midwest, 80s Sunshine State talent show entries and Bahamian dreamy percussion-led guitar jams. Features two previously unreleased versions of Nature’s Choice ‘Never Get A Chance’ and Watch Tower’s ‘Forever, Together’ led by Ohio talent Maurice Moore, from original session tapes and exclusive to this compilation.


Check out the slick slice of Bahama funk that is ‘Slacking Off’ by the Nassauvians, Theatre West’s bittersweet tingling ‘Children of Tomorrow’s Dreams’ or the Terry Callier-inspired vibes of No I.D.’s ‘Changes’ for further proof - this is a clear case of all killer no fillers!


With extensive sleeve notes.
