THE ASTORS MEET THE NEWCOMERS - SWEET SOUL FROM MEMPHIS

Here's a sweet piece of soul history served up by our man in Sacramento, Ca......Pancho. On this CD the Astors appear on 11 of the 20 tracks; the other nine belong to The Newcomers, a similarly obscure Stax soul group from later vintage. This has both sides of all five Astors singles, plus a live version of "Candy" (taken from the Funky Broadway: Stax Revue Live at the 5/4 Ballroom compilation). Also included in this album is the underground sensation "Mannish Boy" by The Newcomers.
