Secret Stash 51 – CD

In 1962, when brothers George and Ernie Leaner founded One-derful! Records, they were revered figures in Chicago’s music scene. The Leaners distributed material from labels like Motown and Stax, and as a result, One-derful! attracted top talent. As a result, the 25 tracks on the One-derful! Collection includes soul classics from McKinley Mitchell and Betty Everett; mid-60s R&B from the Five Du-Tones; soul ballads from Otis Clay; and group-harmony from The Sharpees and The Admirations. There are also 12 tracks that have never been previously issued.
More than two years’ of research and work including many hours spent cataloging, transferring, and mastering 250 of the label’s tapes made this extensive collection possible.
Spanning 1962 to 1971, the compilations bring forth a wealth of previously forgotten recordings and history.
This is the digi-pak CD collection withthickbooklet including thorough linernotes by noted Chicago soul scholar Bill Dahl.

Essentiallistening for fans of classic Chicago soul.
