Description:
After a box of thought-to-be-lost Deep City master tapes turned up in Miami in January of 2007, an idea both fascinating and ugly reared its head: Sequel. Disgusted by the thought of merely making one record to capitalize on the success of the first, we sought to turn the idea on its head. Instead of rehashing and expanding upon an already established story, The Outskirts Of Deep City serves to color in the spaces left open by its predecessor. In addition to seven previously unissued tracks, weve added thirteen other related gems from the Solid Soul, Sun Cut, Reedsville, Lloyd, and Concho labels. Artists include Betty Wright, Helene Smith, Clarence Reid, James Knight & the Butlers, Snoopy Dean, the Rollers, Frank Williams & the Rocketeers, Lynn Williams, Perk Badger, and the Rising Suns. 32 page booklet features a wealth of unpublished photographs, appendix, bibliography, and discography.
