Various Artists

When not playing on many of Motown's most renowned records, Funk Brother Jack Ashford carved out a career as one of the Motor City's most prolific producers.  Ace's Kent label brings together 24 tracks on Just Productions, part of the label's Producer Series.  Just Productions, of course, was also the name of Ashford's label which he founded after Pied Piper folded.  Some of the company's productions appeared on their own Sepia, Triple B, Ashford and Awake labels, while others were licensed to Jay-Walking, Buddah, Spectrum, Premium Stuff and Inter Soul.  Ace samples the best of Just Productions  - including cuts from Eddie Parker and The Four Sonics - on this selection of scintillating Detroit soul!
