Eccentric Soul: The Dynamic Label - Vinyle Orange

Description

Forged in the dust of Rene & Rene’s Tejano tornado “Angelito”, the Dynamic label was but one of San Antonio record and real estate mogul Abe Epstein’s enterprises. Dynamic’s flagship group, the Commands, powered “No Time For You” into the middle reaches of the charts in 1966 on the strength of performances sharpened by the demanding air base circuit. This liftoff paved the way for 20 additional soulful Dynamic singles over an impressive 30-month campaign. Epstein’s open-door policy allowed a vast cross section of Texas talent to converge at his studio, as Whites, Blacks, and Latinos braced to serve in whatever new group duty called for. Epstein’s Alamo City melting pot is showcased here in 28 of Dynamic’s most intriguing sides by the Tonettes, Little Jr. Jesse & the Tear Drops, Don & the Doves, Willie Cooper & the Webs, Bobby Blackmon & His Soul Express, and Doc & Sal. Our deluxe edition comes housed in Lone Star inner sleeves, full color dancehall photography, and rich ephemera, planting a new flag for soul in soil that has already seen its share of banners hoisted. Released in 2013. Pressing on double orange vinyl.
