Label: Home of The Groove Records
Catalogue Number: GGOO3
Release Date: Monday 16th June 2025

Both tracks, on the 7-inch, are taken from the MP3 only 2020 album “Vintage R&B”.
It’s an Anglo-Swedish affair, delivered to you by Swedish songwriters, composers and musicians, Henrik Wikstrom and Anders Lewen, together with UK producer Andrew Stannard.
It was Andrew Stannard who initially had the idea to add some authentic sounding classic soul and R&B to the Universal Music catalogue. He reached out to Lewen and Wikstrom, both excellent songwriters and composers in their own right. Wikstrom is a renowned song and music writer in Europe, and creates great melodies. Lewen a proficient guitarist and multi instrumentalist, playing on the global Soul and Blues scene for over 30 years, is a self-confessed vintage music enthusiast. Lewen has knowledge of the relevant equipment and instruments used back in the day to capture that feel and that sound. His experience includes working closely with Sven Zetterberg (incl. “Heartaches was all you got”), Magnus Carlson, Elin Ruth and James King amongst others. For the whole Vintage R&B album, the music was recorded in the European mainland and then the vocals were laid down in the UK.

A Lifetime in Black Music
Bob Jones career in the music business started in May 1966. His music policy was, as it is now, the highest quality black music, featuring soul, dance and jazz, and he has been recognized worldwide as one of the first DJs ever to play jazz to a dance floor as early as 1971. It’s seems unbelievable to think Dr Bob is still filling dance – floors across planet Earth 55+ years since he started in May 1966. In 1979 he was instrumental in DJing at the world’s first ever soul and jazz Dance Weekender at Caister in Norfolk, England, and went on to play at 24 Caisters.
He has played in numerous clubs and venues across England, Europe and the world and In 1987, Dr Bob DJ’d at the first Southport Dance Weekender, started by Northern club promoter Alex Lowes. This event has gained full respect from the music industry worldwide with the good Dr playing 44 Weekenders [22years] He also DJ’d at the famous Monday night Jazz Sessions at London’s Wag Club alongside Gilles Peterson, Kevin Beadle and Sylvester, and was resident at the now famous Sunday Jazz Sessions at Dingwalls , Camden Lock, London with Gilles Peterson Patrick Forge & Kev Beadle.

His self don’t even remember. I remember cause he was lucky to catch her,lol. I was sitting back with nobody. Also, we were the youngest drummers on the New York Jazz scene right after John Coltrane died. I knew all of John’s drummers and was gonna try and steal their job if John hadn’t died.

Recorded in 1979 this demo by The Janice Lakers Quintet was just i guess 5 people having FUN! The Quintet consisted of Janice Lakers – vocals; Dick Cady – piano; Mike Edwards – woodwinds; Larry Turner – bass; Fred Taylor – drums.
They chose to do two covers versions, the first being Seawind’s now classic Jazz Dance Rare Groove track “He Loves You”. The group give it a much different feel where its not quite as funky as the original but with the whisking Fred Taylors drums and Larry’s Bass it floats along like a Seagull riding a thermal without a care in the world. Mid way into the song Mike Edawards and Dick Cady kick the song into gear with some accomplished Clarinet and Piano playing.

Johnny Adams
New Orleans has always spawned a potpourri of musical styles. Native Johnny Adams, fondly nicknamed “The Tan Canary” due to his multi-octave range, epitomised the soul/blues ballad genre. However, he is probably best remembered for his late 1960s country-oriented hits “Release Me” and “Reconsider Me”, the latter of which demonstrated his stratospheric falsetto.
Adams’ recording career commenced a decade earlier on Joe Ruffino’s Ric set-up, for which he released several 45s including “A Losing Battle”, a Top 30 R&B chart entry. It culminated with a series of excellent Rounder albums in the 1980s and 1990s, including the much-acclaimed One Foot In The Blues.
