Numero Group Releases New Comp Into Rotation
The folks at the illustrious Numero Group will release the next installment in the "Eccentric Soul" series of compilations paying tribute to forgotten soul labels on March 13. Eccentric Soul: Twinight's Lunar Rotation tells the story of Chicago's Twinight label through 40 of its singles. The set includes five previously unreleased songs, two of which were only rumored to exist until now.
The two-disc compilation is the result of over two years of research and two thousand hours of interviews, and the Numero gang is doing right by the songs by issuing them with 13 unpublished photographs inside one of their dependable slip cases. They're going even further by reissuing the compilation's original 45s over the course of the year, the first three of which are due out this month.
