SANDRA WRIGHT - WOUNDED WOMAN
Sandra
Wright was an incredibly powerful Soul singer who was born in Memphis and later
based in Nashville. She had joined a white R&B band Canned Souls in 1967
and recorded a few 45s before being signed. Wounded Woman is one of the
greatest Deep Southern Soul albums of all time. It was recorded at Broadway
Studios Muscle Shoals in 1974 produced by David Johnson. The album was licensed
to Stax records Truth subsidiary label but only a couple of 45 were issued
before Staxs demise. It was eventually released by Demon records in the UK in
1989 to critical acclaim. That issue is now extremely sought after by Soul fans
and collectors, copies change hands for up to 200. The album contains 9 classic
Soul cuts, including the bouncy title track, deep soul ballads of great
intensity and three tracks that have been filling Modern Soul dancefloors for
years Midnight Affair, I Come Running Back and A Man Cant Be A Man. Every track
on this album is superb hence its popularity and demand. This album should have
been as big as Shirley Browns Woman to Woman which was released on the Truth
label in the same year, its that good. We are delighted to release this
fantastic album on a limited edition vinyl LP for Record Store day 2015 ahead
of its more general CD release, and enable a wider audience to own and enjoy
it.

"Program". (One thing – note that the title track "Semiramida"
has some technical issues – the recording quality ebbs and flows a bit,
although the music is great.) ~ Dusty Groove
