Description

In the heart of Greensboro, North Carolina, Walter Grady assembled a rotating cast of townies, homecoming queens, and local talents to create a unique and revolutionary soul sound. Against the backdrop of the Civil Rights movement, The Linco Label became a melodic milestone, capturing the energy and creative spirit of a transformative era.

Featuring a stunning collection of rare soul, funk, and disco-infused recordings, Eccentric Soul: The Linco Label showcases melodic masterpieces from Gin and the Gents, The Opells, Roy Roberts Experience, and Human Blood, among many others. This first-ever compilation of Linco’s finest offers a timeless journey through deep soul grooves, rich harmonies, and irresistible funk rhythms.

This limited edition 2LP pressing on Linco Silver vinyl is exclusive to indie stores, making it a must-have for soul collectors and vinyl enthusiasts alike.

For fans of: Curtis Mayfield, The Dramatics, The Chi-Lites, Sharon Jones & The Dap-Kings
