Various - Rocafort Presents Stone Records: The Complete Singles - EP

Georgia's lost soul treasures finally reissued. At the height of the Southern Soul explosion, Georgia's scene never reached the fame of Memphis or Muscle Shoals. Yet deep in Macon, the hometown of Little Richard, James Brown, and Otis Redding, a tiny label named Stone Records quietly captured the raw, heartfelt sound of its streets. For the first time ever, this 3×45 box set gathers the complete singles released by Stone in the 1960s: six rare sides of pure Southern R&B, funk, and deep soul.

Featuring The Flintstones, Thomas Bailey, and Alice Rozier & Little Joe, artists whose records barely escaped their own neighborhoods but whose energy rivals any of the era's greats. Long whispered about by collectors and DJs, these tracks were pressed in tiny numbers and disappeared almost immediately. Now, reissued and fully documented with liner notes by soul historian John Ridley (sirshambling.com), Stone Records: The Complete Singles restores a missing chapter of Georgia's musical history.
