JAL 174
Release Date 14th April


Newcastle’s finest Smoove & Turrell are back with their third studio album Broken Toys. Their rise through the ranks of British soul has been unstoppable and this debut release from the album sends the signal that they fully intend for 2014 to be the year they take their unique brand of northern soul worldwide on a major scale. 

Having broken through onto the Radio 2 playlist in the UK with their last album Eccentric Audio the boys then went on to repeat the trick gaining national playlists in Holland, France and Germany and gaining the support of influential tastemaker stations like KCRW in LA who made the single Hard Work “Todays Top Tune”.

As most KCRW DJ’s are also Hollywood Music Supervisors this then led to Moby like levels of sync activity for the band with S&T’s Music being used on 2 US TV shows / a US feature Film / a video game / a US TV ad / a UK TV ad / a French TV synch and a whole host of UK TV syncs including Strictly, Corrie and Match of The Day.

A year of writing and recording fast forwards us to right now with the band gearing up for a month of UK touring in June and a summer of festival appearances to promote their new album. 

Scheduled for release in May, Broken Toys is another jump forward both in terms of production and appeal. Sparkling pop songs flirt with disco influenced floor fillers in between the blues, jazz, funk & soul the boys are so well known for. 

Lay It On Me is a fast paced soul stomper which has been a mainstay of the bands energetic live show for the last few months while I Just Want More showcases the incredible songwriting and melodic appeal of this band.

Sometime in the 1960s Hank Mullen’s friend and fellow Buffaloian Carl LaRue, an organ player, traveled with his group (Carl LaRue and His Crew) all the way to Phoenix, Arizona, where he’d secured a steady gig as the house band at the local Zanzibar club. Soon after starting the job, he would invite a young (16yr & 19yr old) vocal duo to perform some of their original songs in front of his band during shows. 

Ernest Johnson Jr. and Eddie (Edgar) William Campbell were eager to make it in music and for the next 10 odd years would attempt to do so.

They managed to record and release a handful of singles across varied imprints spread throughout the United States, from South Carolina to Chicago, from New York to Phoenix. One of their singles, “Time Waits for No One” hit #1 on New York’s WWRL, which subsequently landed on the bill at the Apollo, appearing alongside soul heavyweight’s Gene Chandler, Wilson Pickett, and the Temptations. Through ups and downs, none of their pair’s recordings ever served to catapult them to greater fame and sadly in the early 70’s, Eddie’s premature death would close the door on their partnership. 

One of the duo’s last recordings, “Bullets Don’t Have Eyes” was never released at the time of its creation in 1972. The 45 was eventually released on Daptone imprint Ever-Soul in 2009. 

There are two versions of the 45 available in the Super Soul Super Store. One with the b-side "In These Very Tender Moments" and another 45 which features a different b-side, "You Make My Life A Sunny Day," which is exclusively available in our shop.
