New 45 Reissue Series Brings Rare Blues & R&B Gems Back to Life!
Highly sought-after blues and R&B 7-inch singles often skyrocket in price once they’re categorized under niche styles like New Breed or Popcorn.
Now, a new 45 reissue series is here to bring these rare gems back in their original format! Expect a flood of hard-to-find, high-priced originals, now available
for collectors and DJs alike.

The first release in this series is a 1969 Kent Records single from Larry Davis, the blues singer and guitarist famously admired by B.B. King. The A-side,
For 5 Long Years, written by Sherwood Fleming, delivers a killer mid-tempo funk-blues groove. Meanwhile, the B-side, I’ve Been Hurt So Many Times,
is a dancefloor-ready track in the style of Willie Cobbs’ blues classic “You Don’t Love Me”—a song that has also gained recognition in the UK’s Northern
Soul scene.

This essential reissue is a must-have for fans of rare blues, R&B, and vintage vinyl!
