Various Artists - You Can Be A Star (Deep Disco & Soul 1972-1982)

The definitive survey of
America’s independent 70s soul scene, and a companion piece to Now-Again’s long-running Soul Cal series. “(Soul Cal) captures the
retro-utopian vision of a past where every smalltown record store or garage in the US might have hidden a virtuosic funk outfit; the thrill
of knowing that jobbing musicians might be getting paid for the first time; plus the bittersweet knowledge that those that passed on are
getting deserved recognition. And all that before you get the thrill of the music itself.” - Wire Magazine. Compilation produced,
annotated and researched by Eothen “Egon” Alapatt. Art direction by Errol Richardson. Mastered by Dave Cooley, Kelly Hibbert and
Jason Bitner. Additional coordination by Tanner McCrary.
