The Fleetwoods, Quincy Jones, The Ventures, The Wailers, The Sonics, Ann Wilson (Heart), The Frantics, The Kingsmen, and Dave Lewis to name a few. Barton also captured Seattle’s vibrant 1960s-70s R&B and soul scene, including Black On White Affair and Soul Swingers, among others, as documented in Light in the Attic’s Wheedle’s Groove series. In his later years Barton’s old school reputation drew in contemporary bands like Young Fresh Fellows, The Smugglers, The Minus 5, and The A-Bones into his studio. Essentially, when a local unknown band wanted to make a demo tape, or record their debut album, or perhaps someone just wanted to capture their uncle playing banjo or their kid sister’s first songs, they’d go to Barton’s studio. There were 7,000 reel-to-reel tapes piled up in Barton’s house at the time of his passing. The University of Washington carefully cataloged these tapes, and former Sub Pop employee Dan Trager (who had learned the art of recording from Kearney years earlier as a student) began listening and taking notes. With input from a team drawn from the university and Light in the Attic, Dan compiled a shortlist of essential tracks that would form the basis of this compilation. Kearney Barton: Architect of the Northwest Sound is a comprehensive document of Seattle in the 1960s, 70s, and 80s. It is also a testament to Barton’s life-long dedication to the art of recording. It includes long out of print recordings originally released by local labels such as Jerden, Topaz, Piccadilly, and Etiquette Records. It covers a wide range of genres: sitar and balalaika players, gospel church choirs, unknown garage bands, steel drums, obscure soul artists and teenage a cappella singers. There’s also some familiar names here: Sonics, Wailers, a young pre-Heart Ann Wilson, Larry Coryell making his first ever studio recordings with Chuck Mahaffay, the Hudson Brothers long before they were on TV. “However diverse, there is a commonality that stands out among his recordings: hardcore analog fidelity,” says University of Washington archivist John Vallier. “It sounds like you are in the room with the drums, bass, guitar, and vocals. The mix is minimum. It’s a raw, sonic reality, even if the band is poppy and jangly. It’s an honest sound that doesn’t sugarcoat what’s being performed. That’s Kearney, too.” *Remastered and restored audio *Booklet with liner notes and rare archive photos *Includes previously unreleased tracks Artist Various Artists Genre Rock And Pop Label Light In The Attic Buying Options 2LP , 2LP Coloured Vinyl Format 2LP , Coloured Vinyl Condition New Country UK Track Listings Introduction – Kearney Barton Hey Little One – Woody Carr & the Entertainers Through Eyes And Glass – Ann Wilson & The Daybreaks Bold Soul Sister, Bold Soul Brother – Black On White Affair Occupation Soul – Occupation Soul Sticky – James Henry & The Olympics Dig That Crazy Jam Session – Valamont Two Guitars – Serge Lusgins & His Russian Balalaika Orchestra Ooze – Valamont Flying Bird – Tropical Rainstorm Spanish Harlem – Prabha Devi Happy – Secret Dynamics Introducing A New Concept – Kearney Barton Hold To God's Unchanging Hand – Beacon Hill First Baptist Choir Everybody Knows – Sweet Rolle Wrong Age – MUF With Five Types of Music – Kearney Barton Qui El Petit – Wilkins Gold + Mellow – Fox-Brownsmith Sunshine Morning – Keith Kessler Bossa Nada – Chuck Mahaffay & The Individuals For All We Know – Patty Waters MMM MMM MMM – Dave Lewis Don't Ask Me – Tiki & The Fabulons He's Waitin' – The Sonics High Flyer – Magic Fern Blind Love – The Cuidads All My Nights, All My Days – The Wailers Mr. Blue – Fury Four Share this On Facebook On Twitter Via Email More from Various Artists View Product Quick View Various Artists The Rough Guide to Memphis Blues Blues | World Music Network | 1LP Released 31st May 2024 £14.00 Pre Order View Pre/Back Orders Various Artists The Rough Guide to Memphis Blues £14.00 Genre: Blues Label: World Music Network SKU: RGNET1411LP Formats: 1LP Released Date: 31st May 2024 Read More Pre Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Various Artists The Rough Guide to Blues & the Beast Blues | World Music Network | 180g, 1LP Released 31st May 2024 £14.00 Pre Order View Pre/Back Orders Various Artists The Rough Guide to Blues & the Beast £14.00 Genre: Blues Label: World Music Network SKU: RGNET1428LP Formats: 180g, 1LP Released Date: 31st May 2024 Read More Pre Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Various Artists W3NG Rock And Pop | Numero Group | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 24th May 2024 £22.00 - £23.00 Select options Various Artists W3NG £22.00 - £23.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Numero Group Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 24th May 2024 Read More Select options View Product Quick View Various Artists Everyone’s Getting Involved Rock And Pop | A24 Music | 2LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 26th July 2024 £36.00 Pre Order View Pre/Back Orders Various Artists Everyone’s Getting Involved £36.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: A24 Music SKU: A24M026lp-C1 Formats: 2LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 26th July 2024 Read More Pre Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Various Artists Jazz Dispensary: The Freedom Sound!
