The Soulscape catalogue

SOULSCAPE RECORDS is recognised as a leading outlet for vintage soul music with its emphasis on southern soul.

The label was launched in June 2007 and quickly earned a solid reputation with albums by deep soul favourites Bill Brandon, Tony Borders and Rozetta Johnson.

The catalogue has quickly expanded to ten albums - each featuring rare and previously unreleased masters, detailed liner notes, historic photos and superior mastering.

View our CATALOGUE of essential soul albums featuring vintage tracks by legendary artists Ted Taylor, Reuben Bell, Eddie Giles, Betty & Charles, Eddie Houston, Sandra Wright, James Govan, Mary Gresham, C.L. Blast and Tommy Tate.

Our latest release is the Geater Davis album I'll Play The Blues For You (SSCD 7011) featuring his legendary House of Orange masters produced by Allen Orange. The album has extensive liner notes by Jeff Kuhn and will appeal to southern soul and blues fans in equal measures. Both Davis and Orange are deceased.

Due in July is our long-awaited Doris Allen album A Shell Of A Woman (SSCD 7012) which features all her Minaret, SSS and Emerald Coast recordings - including the duets with Big John Hamilton - and previously unreleased tracks discovered in the vaults of Playground Recording Studio in Valparaiso, Florida. The album has detailed liner notes by Paul Mooney.

Other albums scheduled for release on Soulscape include classic sets by southern soul artists Sam Baker, Ella Washington, Roscoe Robinson and Big John Hamilton. Watch out for more details.

HISTORY

From 2000 to early 2007 Soulscape founder Garry J Cape was a partner in Grapevine Music Group and was responsible for business affairs, licensing and general operations. During that period Grapevine issued thirty-five CDs and seventy 45s.

He brought to Grapevine the popular America's Most Wanted series and the Malaco / Muscle Shoals Sound deals which resulted in CD albums of previously unissued material by southern soul giants George Jackson and Phillip Mitchell. Garry was also responsible for the highly acclaimed Unmasked album by The Masqueraders and several other compilations including those in the New Orleans Soul and Chicago Soul series.

Garry was previously one of the premier English soul record dealers and he made almost a hundred buying trips to the USA until  he sold his inventory in 2005.

In the 1990s he had operated the Black Grape label and before that - in the '70s - the Hit and Run and Special Agent labels.
