Album Description
The final (Kent) instalment in Ace’s trilogy of CDs saluting the UK Sue label and its visionary A&R boss, the late Guy Stevens, focuses on the best of the many great soul records that the label put out between 1962 and 1967. UK Sue put out many different styles of music in its five year life span, but it’s probably better remembered for soul music than for anything else. (Indeed, the label’s first and last releases were all soul). Here are 25 of the finest 45s on the label, chosen by Kent Records’ Ady Croasdell for their quality rather than for their rarity (although it goes without saying that most of the original 45s are as rare as they are good). As with Volumes 1 & 2 – and, for that matter, as with any Ace CD – the booklet is comprehensively annotated and handsomely illustrated with rare pix, label shots and correspondence from UK Sue HQ – much of which has never been seen publicly before. Mention of the UK Sue logo is still guaranteed to bring a big smile to the face, and warmth to the heart, of any UK R&B, Rock ‘n’ Roll or Soul Record collector. And the sales of the previous two volumes in this trilogy prove conclusively that the regard in which "The Little Label That Did" is held is by no means confined to the UK.

Customer Reviews

Yet Another Great Selection Of Sue Soul and R & B
Great for anyone who was there at the time and essential listening for those who want to find the roots of some of today's music.

I was waiting for someone to re-issue the UK Sue catalogue on CD and I have not been disappointed, having bought this volume and the previous two. Apart from the fact that this and the others in the series contain some of the greatest Soul, Blues and R&B from the 1960's they have given me the opportunity to give some of my well-worn vinyl a rest, replace some of the singles I lost years ago and get some of the tracks I didn't buy first time around.

An absolutely excellent collection which not only brings back loads of memories for me and others but shows younger listeners where many of today's sounds started.

I look forward to volume 4.

As great as you'd expect
Those who own either of the first two volumes of this series will have high expectations of this third release, which focuses on soul releases. The UK Sue label was run for Island Records as a subsidiary by Guy Stevens (1943-1981) and took its name from the US label run by Juggy Murray, whose records it released in the UK.
Guy, a club deejay with an obsessive love of rock and roll, R'n'B, ska, jazz and soul, used the label to put out obscure American singles not only from the US Sue group of labels, but from any number of tiny independent record companies and some of the bigger ones.
On this volume there are singles recorded for Marc, Orbit, Fury, Gateway, Ron, King, Barry, Modern, Impact, Backbeat, Carnival, Sims, Goldwax, Vee-Jay and Duke. All of these came out on the Sue imprint in the UK, to the displeasure of Juggy Murray who wanted the label exclusively for his own product, and led to him taking his business elsewhere.
Fortunately for the hipsters, mods and swingers who bought the records, Guy Stevens had impeccable taste and anything on the label was highly likely to be worth the few bob it cost to purchase. For their money they got James Brown (Night Train had been slightly speeded up on the single to make it more danceable, so it is on this CD mastering too), Irma Thomas, Lee Dorsey, Jimmy McGriff, Ike and Tina Turner, James Carr, Bobby Bland and countless other worthies getting valuable exposure over here.
For many years it was rumoured that the black-sounding singer on Incense by the Anglos was actually UK Birmingham-born Stevie Winwood, who had used the name Steve Anglo elsewhere as a pseudonym. Hearing it at last on this CD it seems clear from the aural evidence that the singer, whilst stylistically similar, was not Stevie Winwood, and research has shown that he has gone in print declaring that indeed he has no connection with the recording. From the fulsome and fascinating booklet notes it seems likely that the vocals were by a New Jersey session singer named Joe Webster.
Am I A Fool In Love? turns out to be another remake of A Fool In Love, which Ike and Tina Turner recorded as their first single for Sue in 1960. They went on to record it again for Philles (1966), Pompeii (1968) and, in this instance, Kent (1964).
Had it not been for the passion and single-minded energy of Guy Stevens, many of these singles would probably have never got released in the UK, and here are 25 prime examples of what brought people from around the world to the New Scene Club in Ham Yard, gathered together on one tasty, readily available CD in pristine mono. It's almost too easy.

It doesnt get better than this!!
There are tracks on this CD that I have notheard since my scratched 45s from my adolescence. Music is the ultimate time machine. Listen to some of these tracks and you too may well be transported back to the simpler days of frantic mono. Check out "Incense" by The Anglos a fearsome awesome and barbaric soull chant and if you are new to this music label you have so much in store. Inez & Charlie Foxx ( overshadowed by Ike & Tina) are worth the search.This album may well be a research springboard into the vast and underrated vaults of 60s soul. Dont just sit there reading this BUY IT!!
