{"product_id":"eccentric-soul-the-dynamic-label","title":"Eccentric Soul: The Dynamic Label","description":"Some people are obsessive about buying records. A select few, such as Abe Epstein of San Antonio, Texas, used his income to feed a less common obsession: starting record labels. From the early '60s through the early '70s, Epstein founded a deluge of them. Not one of the bunch came close to rivaling Stax or Motown, but his Dynamic imprint -- supported by licensing to Columbia a Jox label single, Rene y Rene's 1964 single \"Angelito,\" which narrowly missed Billboard's Top 40 -- was productive enough to be anthologized by Numero. Active from 1965 through 1968, Dynamic was home to a Latino, black, and white mix of R\u0026amp;B artists who churned out a considerable sum of decent-to-stellar material. The top highlight is the Commands' winsome 1966 A-side \"No Time for You,\" laced with undeniable background harmonies and exceptional instrumental support from Latino youngsters the Dell-Tones. It didn't become a big hit, but it went national; the O'Jays released a cover the same year on Imperial. Just beneath that, there's \"I Gotta Know,\" a peppy cult favorite of England's Northern soul community, from a group of young women dubbed the Tonettes. Dust collectors from flame throwers Bobby Blackmon \u0026amp; the Soul Express, Naval buddies Doc \u0026amp; Sal (whose \"Can't Get You Offa My Mind\" answered James \u0026amp; Bobby Purify's \"I'm Your Puppet\"), the charmingly ragged Little Jr. Jesse \u0026amp; the Tear Drops, the promising-sounding Don \u0026amp; the Doves, and Galveston's storming Webs are also featured. In March 2013, when this typically generous and in-depth package was released, Numero planned other Epstein-related anthologies. Perhaps one of them will include \"Angelito,\" which was covered by Herb Alpert and quickly forgotten by the pop world. ~ Andy Kellman","brand":"InnerSleeve","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44517449990309,"sku":"825764104319","price":35.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/6007\/1077\/files\/d7f08098157644d175caa822d22bfe5e_40ca811d-8197-4a34-a1aa-7f083d968ceb.jpg?v=1777761297","url":"https:\/\/www.innersleeve.com\/en-de\/products\/eccentric-soul-the-dynamic-label","provider":"InnerSleeve","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
