Eccentric Soul: The Tammy Label

Description

Lost in the soot and fallout from Youngstown, Ohio’s infamous Black Monday steel industry collapse was Tony March’s cross-generational Tammy label. From its early days as a doo wop powerhouse to their last gasps chasing disco hits, Tammy un-intentionally documented Youngstown’s small but prolific black music scene. This single LP surveys the label’s best R&B, soul, funk, and disco, with 13 tracks from Ice Cold Love, Lynn Minor, J.C. & The Soul Angels, The Snapshots, Iron knowledge, Roy Jefferson, and Steel City Band. Housed in a deluxe tip-on jacket, with a booklet crammed full of notes and ephemera, the Tammy Label continues Numero’s 20-year tradition of preserving regional Ohio music.
