Operating in the farthest margins of LA’s cutthroat music business from 1961-1991, Mel Alexander’s Consolidated Productions was among the longest running Black-owned independent record conglomerates of the 20th century. Caught up in a confusing web of imprints – including Ajax, Angel Town, Car-A-Mel, Emanuel and Kris – this first volume gathers 28 smouldering R&B cuts from the likes of Lee Harvey, BB Carter, Marilyn Calloway, Del Reys, Deb Tones, De Velles, Gene Russell’s Trio, Jimmy ‘Preacher’ Ellis and Ty Karim. Remastered from the original 1/4” tapes, ‘Consolidated Productions Vol. 1’ includes carefully researched annotation, discography, and photographs from a vital producer.

Available on Car-A-Mel (opaque tan) coloured double vinyl and black double vinyl.
