The Complete Diamond Jim Recordings

Description

The Michigan group EJ & the Echoes represents a remarkable chapter in Michigan's musical history and the early American soul scene. Founded in 1963 by Everett J. "EJ" Gronda, the group quickly gained popularity across Michigan with Manny Holcolm as lead singer, developing a harmonious sound blending influences from the Beatles to James Brown. Between 1964 and 1967, they released several singles on the Diamond Jim Records label, later finding international recognition as classics of the British Northern Soul scene. This deluxe gatefold LP compiles their complete discography of extremely rare original 7" singles, all appearing on vinyl for the very first time. Pressed on BioVinyl, with detailed liner notes, unpublished photographs, and a download code for the complete album.
