about

Fueled by the financial drippings of number runners and boosted by Hall-of-Fame running back Jim Brown, Cleveland, Ohio's Way Out Records offered asylum for a rising crop of rogue soul men, rust-belt vocal ensembles, and trial-by-fire producers. Helmed by a friendly consortium of hustlers, police officers, and gridiron giants, pet project beget obsession as Motown arrangers, gospel choirs, and the Cleveland Symphony Orchestra were all beckoned to the wrong side of the tracks to mint masterpieces for the Sensations, Volcanic Eruption, the Exceptional Three, and Bobby Wade, all beneath the mindful gaze of a wall-mounted shotgun. Reaching their peak in the late '60s, Eccentric Soul: The Way Out Label gathers the brightest moments from the quirky operation's eleven year bid.

The 3xLP configuration boasts a double gatefold with beautiful photos and ephemera from the label's low-flying promotional department. The 2xCD version boasts images unique to this format, plus the same great liner notes, clocking in at 7,000 words. For fans of group harmony, sweet soul, orchestral feats and lo-fi oddities, The Way Out Label is an excellent addition to our already popular and powerful Eccentric Soul series.

about

Eccentric Soul

Numero’s flagship Eccentric Soul series is effectively remapping the American soul diaspora. Each compilation explores, a US city’s smallest time hooks and would-be world beaters tossed into the glutted big-hole record sea of the '60s and ’70s. In this alternate universe are the unforgettable records that could have, should have, and never did. Find their stories here, retold for the first time. ... more

Promises
by Floating Points, Pharoah Sanders & The London Symphony Orchestra

supported by 9 fans who also own “Eccentric Soul: The Way Out Label”

Magic in its purest form. I love Floating Points, I love Pharoah Sanders, I love The London Symphony Orchestra. It's a match made in heaven, and the result is absolutely gorgeous. I have loved this record since its release, and realized I don't own it for some reason. So its time to change that. 9.5/10 honestly could become a 10/10 on an indepth vinyl relisten. angrypizza98

Pharoah
by Pharoah Sanders

supported by 6 fans who also own “Eccentric Soul: The Way Out Label”

Pharoah's long forgotten masterpiece. This record could have been lost, but it just got resurrected, and seriously, this is probably one of Sanders top 2 or 3 albums. Those who discovered Pharoah with Promises, might prefer this to Karma. The first track, Harvest Time is a gem and both live takes on this double CD are compelling variations of the studio version, maybe even more exciting! Alex Deschênes

Force Majeure
by Dezron Douglas & Brandee Younger

supported by 6 fans who also own “Eccentric Soul: The Way Out Label”

This could’ve been my album of the year if I’d noticed it. Hell. 2020, feeling like shit and then this musical balm appears. Live recording on one mic. Just bass and harp. Awesome. It swings like a pendulum do! Big shout out for Dezron’s love of coffee. I now have 2 of his albums and he’s proselytising on behalf of coffee on both. Damn right ☕️ Crinklechips
