2013 two CD collection. Having explored the West Coast with the three volume Music City Sessions, Omnivore Recordings has set it's sights on Southern R&B with the South Side of Soul Street: The Minaret Soul Singles 1967-1976. This 2 CD, 40 track collection gathers all of the A-s and B-s of Minaret's soulful sides for the very first time. Many of these tracks have been out of print for decades, commanding top dollar on the collector's market. While the music is enticing enough, the package features a full-color booklet with extensive liner notes by Bill Dahl detailing not only the history of the label and studio, but of the stories of the artists whose work is showcased on these 20 singles as well. Featuring photographs and commentary from Playground staff past and present.
