2017 Record Store Day release - pressed on soul-royalty gold vinyl. The stompin’ Soul Sound of New York’s famed Wand Records - an entire LP of incredible dancefloor anthems--most of which command a king’s ransom as prized 45s!
New York’s Wand Records strutted proudly as one of the preeminent sources of sock-it soul singles, including popular, long-time favorites among dance floor crowds around the world, many of which are included on We’re Gonna Have A Party! The Soul of Wand Records. This LP features some of the rarest gems of the genre, perfectly mastered in pounding mono, just like the original 45s! Flagship Wand artists Maxine Brown and Chuck Jackson are represented by a trio of tracks that are their most-desirable, danceable cuts, and sit alongside stompers like The Masqueraders' incredible "Do You Love Me Baby," a brilliant mix of soul styles propelled by a moving bass-line worthy of ANY of the vaulted classics from other locations around the country. And from there, you get more rare 'n' regal sounds including two platters alone that would command a king's ransom, "Love Keeps Me Crying" by Walter Wilson and "Please Stay" by The Ivories.
Treasured dance hits and overlooked soul-shout masterpieces! Proudly collected here on one hip-shakin’ LP, Sundazed presents We’re Gonna Have A Party! The Soul of Wand Records.
