United We Stand: Cherry Red Reissues Reggae-Pop Classics from Bob Andy and Marcia Griffiths
Nestled in the Motown discography between Diana Ross' "Ain't No Mountain High Enough" and The Four Tops' "Still Water" singles in 1970 was a curiosity: the major label debut of the popular Jamaican singing duo Bob and Marcia, a.k.a. Keith Anderson and Marcia Griffiths. While the 45 with "Young, Gifted and Black" b/w "Peace of Mind" didn't dent the charts in the U.S., the A-side had made it all the way to No. 5 on the U.K. National Charts.

Review: Dennis Coffey, "One Night at Morey's: 1968"
For guitarist Dennis Coffey, music was no mere day job. While plying his trade each day as a member of the Funk Brothers, laying down funky licks on some of Detroit's finest records, Coffey was spending his evenings at Morey Baker's Showplace Lounge as one-third of organist Lyman Woodard's instrumental trio. With Woodard and drummer Melvin Davis, Coffey treated patrons to sizzling renditions of the day's hits as well as original songs. One of the trio's 1968 sets was issued last year on

Review: "Fab Gear: The British Beat Explosion and Its Aftershocks 1963-1967"
"Yesterday's Gone": the song by folk-pop duo Chad and Jeremy opens the first of the six discs comprising Cherry Red and RPM's new box set Fab Gear: The British Beat Explosion and Its Aftershocks 1963-1967.
