Late night ‘60s R&B caught on tape at Jim Kirchstein’s jack-of-all genres Cuca studio.

Re- leased on minuscule pressings into the Wiscon- sin wilderness, these 26 sasquatch- rare tracks uncover the soulful paths between the Chicago, Milwaukee, Rockford, and Rockford scenes. Featuring Harvey Scales, Step By Step, Betty Moorer, Seven Sounds, Twiliters, Birdlegs & Pauline, Esquires, Artie & The Pharaohs, and Fantastic Six, this 2xlp tells an alternate his- tory of soul music that could only happen in the Hinterlands on Highway 12.
