Underground soul and funk from early-seventies LA — Henry Porter, Jechonias Williams and co, with one foot inside the Watts 103rd St. Rhythm Band — lovingly unearthed by Now Again.

Rare 45s by these standard-bearers of the funky, counter-cultural heavy rock-scene in mid-seventies Rhodesia. Watch Out was its anthem.

A Now Again labour of love: the complete works of this legendary guitarist-singer-songwriter from Atlanta. His earliest work for the Tuska label, through his more mature releases for Shout, and smaller regional labels like Note, Free Spirit and RSC, at the most subterranean and fertile interface of Southern soul and funk. CD presented in a fifty-six-page, saddle-stitched book, with extensive essays on Marks’ career and never-before-seen photos and ephemera. Great stuff.

Intensely sought-after, highly-considered, late-60s psych rock — homespun, funky, introspective — privately pressed in the dark, hazy twilight of flower power. Plus D’s back pages, expertly restored.

Lovely, heartful seventies soul, the collected works of the Flint, Michigan singer, in lineups like Hunts Determination, smartly done. Apparently Reginald’s aunt had a strong southern accent; the hospital mis-heard.

A Stones Throw project.
