Présentation
"An amazing story from the 70s Bay Area soul scene. First ever compilation of BROWN DOOR RECORDS run by Oakland Soul/Funk hero Marvin Holmes. Titles include many from his well-known albums Summer Of '73 and Honor Thy Father and rare 45s by Jeanie Tracy, Dorothy Morrison and more. Most of the tracks are on CD for the first time."

"A killer collection of funk and soul from an ultra-hip Bay Area label of the 70s – Oakland's enigmatic BROWN DOOR RECORDS – headed up by Funk maestro Marvin Holmes! The music's got a beautifully sunny vibe – all the best Bay Area elements of the time, reflected in the scene-crossing, genre-stepping modes that often made the East Bay way more exciting than anything going on in San Francisco – particularly in the cool crossbreeding that would happen between Berkeley, Oakland, and other communities. Holmes' cuts here are a great example of that – still the funk and jazz of his late 60s music for bigger labels, but also pretty stretched-out and open too – filled with an all-encompassing spirit that rivals the best music from the Fantasy studios at the time – but with a hipper, indie vibe all the way through. This spirit also steps over to the work by other artists on the collection, too – and is told in the rich notes and images included with the heavy booklet – both in English and Japanese, at a level that shows the SHOUT PRODUCTIONS folks stepping into Numero territory. A wonderfully deep compilation – filled with great cuts."
