Light in the Attic is releasing a new compilation of ’70s-’80s soul from Memphis, Tennessee  – called Stone Crush: Memphis Modern Soul 1977-1987 – this April.

Watch next: The Time For Peace Is Now – Soul Gospel of the 1970s

Focusing on the amateur musicians of the city’s modern soul scene, Stone Crush collects one-hit-wonders made between 1977 and 1987, and features a 24-page booklet chronicling the making of the tracks, alongside previously unseen photos and ephemera.

Stone Crush follows Light In The Attic’s release of Pacific Breeze: Japanese City Pop, AOR and Boogie 1976-1986 – one of our favourite reissues of 2019.
