The Larks – The Jerk (Money Records LP 1102)

The Larks – The Jerk (Money Records LP 1102) | Rare Soul LP

Money Records  1965 ‎– LP 1102

notes:

Released during the height of America's mid-1960s dance craze,  
The Jerk by The Larks captures the infectious energy of classic 
soul and rhythm & blues. Issued on Money Records as LP 1102,
 this scarce album combines upbeat dance numbers, smooth vocal 
harmonies and energetic performances that made dance
 records an essential part of the era's soul music scene.

Although primarily remembered for the title dance hit, 
the album offers an enjoyable blend of uptempo soul, 
R&B and early funk influences. Today, original Money 
Records pressings are sought after by collectors of 
rare soul vinyl, dance craze records and independent label releases.

For enthusiasts of vintage American soul, The Jerk remains 
an entertaining snapshot of the exciting dance-floor 
culture that flourished before the arrival of late-1960s funk.

Don Julian  was an American rhythm and blues,funk 
and soul singer, guitarist and songwriter. Most 
famous for his work as an R&B singer in the 1950's 
and 1960's, he's also known for composing the soundtrack 
and songs to the (so-called) blacksploitation film, Savage!
Born Donald R. Julian in Houston, Texas, United States, 
in his teens he moved to Los Angeles, California, where 
he began performing with local bands.He performed both 
solo and with backing bands. His most famous backing group 
was "The Meadowlarks" (later named The Larks (Los Angeles Band)), 
although most of his film music was performed with instrumental 
funk bands.The Meadowlarks is considered the first integrated 
doo-wop group.In 1954, Don Julian and the Meadowlarks' debut 
single "Heaven and Paradise", became popular with R&B fans. 
In 1964, the single, "The Jerk" was released under the band 
name, The Larks.

FONTANA RECORDS 1966                      TL5359 

 

 notes:

Few British rhythm & blues bands captured the energy of the mid-1960s 
quite like The Spencer Davis Group. Released in 1966, Autumn '66 
showcased the remarkable vocal talent of Steve Winwood alongside 
Spencer Davis, Muff Winwood, and Pete York. Issued by Fontana Records 
under catalog number TL5359, the album blends blues, soul, jazz, and 
early rock into a timeless collection that remains a 
favorite among collectors and classic rock enthusiasts.
Autumn '66 arrived during the group's most successful period, when 
Steve Winwood's soulful voice had already helped produce international hits. 
Rather than relying solely on chart singles, the album explores deeper
 blues influences, soulful arrangements, and polished musicianship that 
reflected the band's rapid artistic growth.
Listeners will find energetic performances mixed with emotional ballads, 
demonstrating why The Spencer Davis Group became one of 
Britain's defining R&B acts of the decade.

Class records 1966 ‎– C-1517

 notes:

He was born in Los Angeles, California, the son of songwriter and record 
producer Leon René, and acquired the nickname "Googie" as a child.
studied piano, and began writing songs and working in his father's recording 
studio. After serving in the US military in Europe, he returned to help set up 
Class Records with his father and his business partner Preston Love.
René began recording himself in 1956, with the instrumental "Wham Bam", 
credited to the Googie René Combo. Later records by the Combo featured – 
as well as René on piano and organ – many of the leading session musicians in Los Angeles, 
including guitarists Johnny Watson, René Hall, Howard Roberts, and Jimmy Nolen; bassist 
Red Callender; saxophonists Plas Johnson and Clifford Scott; and drummer Earl Palmer. 
Their recordings covered jump blues, rock and roll, and jazz.Some of the Googie René Combo's
 recordings in the early 1960s have been described as "the start of hipster lounge music—
a form of jazz-infused pop with an easy-listening sheen".

 Ronnie Jones left. The group quickly gained a reputation, especially
 among Mods, as one of the hottest R&B bands in the UK. Band

 21 September 1937, Walthamstow, North East London), Mike Carr
 (keyboards), Harry Beckett (trumpet), David Price (bass),
