V/a / Eccentric Soul 2 - The Bandit Label

Numero Group

The second volume in Numero's Eccentric Soul series couldn't be in any sharper a contrast than the first. Where the Capsoul label hid in the remnants of dying R&B, Chicago's Bandit Label was leading the pack towards disco and funk under the direction of rogue entrepreneur ARROW BROWN. Most of the label's recordings have vanished, some of its artists have met violent deaths or have disappeared into obscurity, but with tireless digging and a dogged detective's approach, Numero has managed to unearth twenty tracks of blistering R&B, sweet soul, and discofied funk for your listening pleasure. Beautifully packaged with extensive notes, and housed in a card slip cover. Buy it.
