Some rare Soul music for your Record Store Day 2013, master tape recordings of American Funk band 24 Carat Black excavated by Numero Group! "24-Carat Black: Gone: The Promises of Yesterday" was originally released in 2009 but Numero has re-created 549 pressings as a 10" picture disc to simulate the look of damaged vinyl as shown below. Here's what the label has to say about this great re-issue:
"When we first got the tapes for what would become NUM025 24-Carat Black: Gone: The Promises of Yesterday LP/CD, we thought we had a lot more material from which to compile from. From the four tapes that we transferred, only six usable tracks managed to make it off the reel. The rest were in such bad shape that we got one pass at capturing what was left. And even then, there were only four songs that were audible. But what great songs they are! Listen:"
Purchase 24-Carat Black: Gone: The Promises of Yesterday here at Amazon (the 10" vinyl re-issue available only at Numero's pop-up shop in Chicago for RSD 2013)
