Upon discovery, a member of the Daptone family immediately went rogue with it by printing a couple shirts at one of those DIY mall kiosks (you know the kind). Needless to say, it was too good to keep for ourselves. Only available in the Black Velvet pre-order bundles - Printed in Brooklyn on Next Level Apparel (Unisex). November 5th, 2018 would have been Charles Bradley’s 70th birthday. In celebration of his extraordinary life, Daptone imprint Dunham Records is proud to release his fourth and final album, Black Velvet. Black Velvet is a celebration of Charles Bradley, lovingly assembled by his friends and family at Dunham/Daptone Records. Though chronologically the material spans Charles' entire career, this is no anthology, greatest hits or other shallow rehashing of the songs that already made him famous. Rather, this album is a profound exploration through the less-travelled corners of the soulful universe that Charles and his longtime producer, co-writer and friend Tommy "TNT" Brenneck created in the studio together over their decade-long partnership. It features new songs recorded during the sessions from each of his three albums, heard here for the very first time in all their scorching glory: "Can't Fight the Feeling," "Fly Little Girl" and the heart-wrenching single "I Feel a Change"; hard core rarities like his funk-bomb duet with LaRose Jackson, "Luv Jones," the psychedelic groover, "(I Hope You Find) The Good Life" and the ever-illusive alternate full band electric version of "Victim of Love"; sought-after covers of Nirvana's "Stay Away," Neal Young's "Heart of Gold" and Rodriguez's "Slip Away"; and the title track "Black Velvet," a stirring Menahan Street Band instrumental to which Charles was never able to cut a vocal. Black Velvet is a celebration of his life, and is destined to join Charles' first three albums alongside the cannon of essential soul records for the ages. Original cover photo by Kisha Bari.

TheWindBlower Posted October 3, 2018 Share Posted October 3, 2018 I need to pick up all of Charles' LPs. Might as well start with this one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoneyFrosted Posted October 3, 2018 Share Posted October 3, 2018 (edited) Grabbed a quad black and purple. I kinda want the box, even though it only amounts to one 4-song EP and a bunch of extras. I’m super tight on funds - and since the colored is strictly limited to one and the box makes no mention of limited, I’ll get this now before they’re gone. might get a box down the line anyway. EDIT: the email says the box set is 1 per person too, implying limited too. Dang. Edited October 3, 2018 by HoneyFrosted Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The box was way more readily available to pre-order through retail outlets than the color LP was a couple of weeks ago. I think there were only 3 places that were offering the color but were sold out already. Might be different now that this was officially announced.

lexicondevil Posted October 3, 2018 Author Share Posted October 3, 2018 I went box and quad. I don't "need" both, but I just have such sweet memories of seeing him perform. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pepperonigin Posted October 4, 2018 Share Posted October 4, 2018 He was such a master, it's a shame he's gone. Fans of Charles Bradley should check out the Shalada's, also on Daptone. It's one of Charles' backing musicians and his family, really good soul type stuff: https://shopdaptonerecords.com/collections/the-sha-la-das/products/love-in-the-wind Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
