Richard "Dimples" Fields

Cherry Red's Robinsongs imprint celebrates late soul man Richard "Dimples" Fields for his first major release of the CD/digital era.  Dimples was an unusual figure on the soul music landscape: a self-proclaimed feminist who portrayed himself as a two-timing ladies' man, whose quirky ballads including "She's Got Papers on Me" and "If It Ain't One Thing, It's Another" were alternately earnest and humorous.  This set includes all three of Fields' Boardwalk LPs - Dimples (1980), Mr. Look So Good (1982), Give Everybody Some (1982) - and his two RCA releases, Mmm... (1984) and Dark Gable (1985).  The Albums 1980-1985 is housed in an eight-panel digipak, and the 20-page full-color booklet includes new liner notes by TSD's own Joe Marchese as well as credits and photos.  Oli Hemingway has mastered the audio. As an Amazon affiliiate, we earn from qualifying purchases.
