Mr. Clean: Winfield Parker At Ru-Jac
Ru-Jac Records, one of the nation’s first African-American owned record labels, was formed in Baltimore in the early 1960s by Rufus Mitchell, who booked east coast entertainment venues including Carr’s Beach, a segregated summer resort near Annapolis. Ru-Jac was active through the beginning of the 1970s and featured R&B, jazz and even rock acts. One of the most soulful was Winfield Parker.
Parker cut 17 sides for Ru-Jac, the 45s on which those tracks are found have fetched top dollar on the collectors market, as people have hungered for this vintage, classic sound. When Omnivore Recordings acquired Ru-Jac in 2015, even more recordings were discovered, and those original singles, along with 6 previously unissued tracks, are finally available as Mr. Clean: Winfield Parker At Ru-Jac.
From “My Love,” to “I Love You Just The Same” to the collection’s title track—Mr. Clean presents Parker at his most soulful, along with alternate takes, demos, backing tracks and songs unheard since they were first laid down to tape over five decades ago. With mastering and restoration from Grammy®-winner Michael Graves, they also sound better than ever.

PS von Soulpope : Winfield Parker hat eine eigenständige + tolle Stimme und das (mir schon bekannte) Material auf Ru-Jac ist vom Feinsten – unveröffentlichte Tracks sind daher wohl mehr Chance als Risiko und das ganze remastered zu hören scheint eine valide Option zu sein :teufel: ….
