For their stewardship of ▓▓███████▓▓ ▓▓███████▓▓ the great Brenton Wood alone, the company has ▓▓███████▓▓ ▓▓███████▓▓ its place in the soul music pantheon. They were ▓▓███████▓▓ ▓▓███████▓▓ also part of a dying breed - Double Shot was ▓▓███████▓▓ ▓▓███████▓▓ amongst the batch of Los Angeles indies, like ▓▓███████▓▓ ▓▓███████▓▓ GNP Crescendo, White Whale and A&M, who still ▓▓███████▓▓ ▓▓███████▓▓ managed to apply the independent spirit of the ▓▓███████▓▓ ▓▓███████▓▓ 1950s-early 1960s record biz at the twilight of ▓▓███████▓▓ ▓▓███████▓▓ the decade, in the death throes of the industry ▓▓███████▓▓ ▓▓███████▓▓ as they had known it. ▓▓███████▓▓ ▓▓███████▓▓ ▓▓███████▓▓ ▓▓███████▓▓ DOUBLE SHOT OF SOUL focuses specifically on ▓▓███████▓▓ ▓▓███████▓▓ what, with hindsight, was the labelÆs greatest ▓▓███████▓▓ ▓▓███████▓▓ strength: a commercial, yet hip brand of R&B and ▓▓███████▓▓ ▓▓███████▓▓ funky soul, seasoned with the appropriate ▓▓███████▓▓ ▓▓███████▓▓ rock/pop touches. Though the label hit paydirt ▓▓███████▓▓ ▓▓███████▓▓ with the 1966 garage rock smash Psychotic ▓▓███████▓▓ ▓▓███████▓▓ Reaction by Count Five, the bulk of their ▓▓███████▓▓ ▓▓███████▓▓ catalogue was in fact soulful in nature. Double ▓▓███████▓▓ ▓▓███████▓▓ ShotÆs other big act was Brenton Wood, and his ▓▓███████▓▓ ▓▓███████▓▓ success with hits such as Gimme Little Sign drew ▓▓███████▓▓ ▓▓███████▓▓ mostly black acts to the company over the next ▓▓███████▓▓ ▓▓███████▓▓ five years. ▓▓███████▓▓ ▓▓███████▓▓ ▓▓███████▓▓ ▓▓███████▓▓ Visit www.acerecords.co.uk for additional info. ▓▓███████▓▓ ▓▓███████▓▓ ▓▓███████▓▓ ▓█████████▓▓▄ ▄ ▄ ▄▓▓█████████▓ ▓██████████████▄▄▄▄█▀ ▀█▄▄▄▄██████████████▓ ▐▓███████████████▀▀ ▀▀███████████████▓▌ ▀▀▓▓██████▀▀▀▀ ▄ ▀ ▀ ▄ ▀▀▀▀██████▓▓▀▀ ▄▄▄▄▄▄▀▀▀ [ TRACKLISTING ] ▀▀▀▄▄▄▄▄▄ ▄▄▄█████▓▓▀ ░ ░ ▀▓▓█████▄▄▄ ▄▓██████▓▓▀ ▀▓▓██████▓▄ ▓▓██████▓▓▌ 01. foxy - trouble ▐▓▓██████▓▓ ▓▓██████▓▓▌ 02. bobby freeman - four piece funky nitty gritty ▐▓▓██████▓▓ ▐▓███████▓▓ junky band ▓▓███████▓▌ ▓▓██████▓▓▌ 03. the bagdads - push me baby ▐▓▓██████▓▓ ▓▓██████▓▓▌ 04. the georgia prophets - loving you is killing ▐▓▓██████▓▓ ▐▓███████▓▓ me ▓▓███████▓▌ ▓▓██████▓▓▌ 05. bobby freeman - can you stand the pressure ▐▓▓██████▓▓ ▓▓██████▓▓▌ 06. maurice rodgers - coming in out of the rain ▐▓▓██████▓▓ ▓▓██████▓▓▌ 07. kent and the candidates - the neck ▐▓▓██████▓▓ ▓▓██████▓▓▌ 08. loise whitney - gotta keep on ▐▓▓██████▓▓ ▓▓██████▓▓▌ 09. the real thing - the international love song ▐▓▓██████▓▓ ▓▓██████▓▓▌ 10. the doo rights - youre my girl ▐▓▓██████▓▓ ▓▓██████▓▓▌ 11. bobby freeman - oughta be a law ▐▓▓██████▓▓ ▓▓██████▓▓▌ 12. the invincibles - nobody ▐▓▓██████▓▓ ▓▓██████▓▓▌ 13. shirley - sugar sugar ▐▓▓██████▓▓ ▓▓██████▓▓▌ 14. the bagdads - green power ▐▓▓██████▓▓ ▓▓██████▓▓▌ 15. the real thing - its my life ▐▓▓██████▓▓ ▓▓██████▓▓▌ 16. the georgia prophets - for the first time ▐▓▓██████▓▓ ▓▓██████▓▓▌ 17. bobby freeman - do it ▐▓▓██████▓▓ ▓▓██████▓▓▌ 18. ken and the candidates - trouble ▐▓▓██████▓▓ ▓▓██████▓▓▌ 19. the bagdads - jelly ▐▓▓██████▓▓ ▓▓██████▓▓▌ 20. the real thing - what is soul ▐▓▓██████▓▓ ▓▓██████▓▓▌ 21. bobby freeman - everybodys got a hang up ▐▓▓██████▓▓ ▓▓██████▓▓▌ 22. the bagdads - love has two faces ▐▓▓██████▓▓ ▓▓██████▓▓▌ 23. maurice rodgers - gotta keep on talkin ▐▓▓██████▓▓ ▓▓██████▓▓▌ 24. bobby freeman - do you wanna dance 70 ▐▓▓██████▓▓ ▓▓██████▓▓▌ 25. the bagdads - livin in fear ▐▓▓██████▓▓ ▓▓██████▓▓▌ 26. bobby freeman - put another dime in the ▐▓▓██████▓▓ ▐▓███████▓▓ parking meter ▓▓███████▓▌ ▓▓████████▓ ▓████████▓▓ ▓██████████ ██████████▓ ▓██████████ ██████████▓ ▓██████████ ██████████▓ ▓██████████ ██████████▓ ▓▓█████████ █████████▓▓ ▐▓█████████ █████████▓▌ ▓▓████████▌ ▐████████▓▓ ▓▓███████▓ ▓███████▓▓ ▀▓███████▓▄ ▄▓███████▓▀ ▀▀▀█████▓▓▄▄▄ ▄ ▄ ▄▄▓▓█████▀▀▀ ░ ▀▀▓▓█████▄▄▄ ▀▄ ▄▄▀ ▄▄▄█████▓▓▀▀ ░ ▀▓▓██████▓▄ ▀█▓▄▄ ▄▄▓▓▀ ▄▓██████▓▓▀ ▐▓▓██████▓▓ ▀█▓████▓▓▀ ▓▓██████▓▓▌ ▓▓███████▓▓ █▓██▓▓ ▓▓███████▓▓ ▄ ▄▓▓█████████▓▓ ▐▓█▓▓▌ ▓▓█████████▓▓▄ ▄ ▀█▄▄▄▄██████████████▓▓ █▓██▓▓ ▓▓██████████████▄▄▄▄█▀ ▄ ▀▀███████████████▓▓ ▐█████▓▌ ▓▓███████████████▀▀ ▄ ▀▄▄ ▀▀▀▀██████▓▓▀▀ ▄███████▓▄ ▀▀▓▓██████▀▀▀▀ ▄▄▀ ▀██▄ ▄▄████████████▄▄ ▄██▀ ▀███▄▄ ▄▄████████████████████▄▄ ▄▄███▀ ▀▀███▓████████████████████▀▀████████████████████▓███▀▀ ▀▀▀▀▀████████▀▀▀▀ ▀▀▀▀████████▀▀▀▀▀ z0o ▄ ▀ REMORSE ▀ ▄ ▄▄▄▄▄▄▀▀▀ 2k4 ▀▀▀▄▄▄▄▄▄ ▄▄▄█████▓▓▀ ░ ░ ▀▓▓█████▄▄▄ ▄▓██████▓▓▀ ▀▓▓██████▓▄ ▓▓██████▓▓▌ Now specialising in VBR ▐▓▓██████▓▓ ▓▓███████▓▓ ▓▓███████▓▓ ▓▓█████████▓▓▄ ▄ ▄ ▄▓▓█████████▓▓ ▓▓██████████████▄▄▄▄█▀ ▀█▄▄▄▄██████████████▓▓ ▓▓███████████████▀▀ ▀▀███████████████▓▓ ▀▀▓▓██████▀▀▀▀ ▀▀▀▀██████▓▓▀▀
