VARIOUS ARTISTS – ECCENTRIC SOUL – THE TAMMY LABEL

Description

Sheer Magic Transparent Silver Glitter Colored LP

Lost in the soot and fall out from Youngstown, Ohio’s infamous Black Monday steel industry collapse was Tony March’s cross-generational Tammy label. From its early days as a doo wop powerhouse to their last gasps chasing disco hits, Tammy unintentionally documented Youngstown’s small but prolific Black music scene.

This single LP surveys the label’s best R&B, soul, funk, and disco, with 13 tracks from Ice Cold Love, Lynn Minor, J.C. & The Soul Angels, The Snapshots, Iron Knowledge, Roy Jefferson, and Steel City Band. Housed in a deluxe tip-on jacket, with a booklet crammed full of notes and ephemera, the Tammy Label continues numero’s 20 Year tradition of preserving regional Ohio music.
