Eccentric Soul: Magic Touch Label Vol. 1 2LP

Conjuring from '64-'80, Lenny "King Creole" LaCour dealt a mean slight of sockin' R&B, basement beehive, hard funk, group harmony, and proto disco across a variety of mysterious imprints. This deluxe double album set gathers 26 soulful tricks from the Magic Touch top hat, with an illusion's worth of noters, photos, and ephemera in the accompany- ing booklet. Abracadabra.
