Insanely raw soul from 1971! Extremely rare and being reissued for the first time here from Colemine Records. Gloria Barnes teams up with The Ohio Players and Lee Moses to create her only LP, Uptown, that would become highly desirable in the deep soul/funk market and just now seeing the light of day in 2017. Gloria Barnes got her start as Towanda Barnes, releasing 45's on both The Groovy Label in 1966 and A&M Records in 1969. Uptown, her one and only full-length offering, came two years later in 1971 on the somewhat obscure, but vibrant Maple label. The Johnny Brantley produced long-player yielded impressive results and features backing from both Lee Moses & The Disciples and The Hustlers. The platter mixes upbeat tracks with some fiery deep soul and includes "You Don't Mean It", a song penned by the Ohio Players. Gloria's version of the cut became popular among those in the know in England's Northern Soul movement.

For Returns on new vinyl purchased in the store or online - we only accept returns for products we determine to be defective or severely damaged, and only if we are notified of the issue with 5 days of you receiving the record. Once you’ve made us aware of the issue we might ask for photo or video proof (if purchased online) and we will determine if the product is returnable. We will then work with you to arrange for return shipping and/or replacement of your item.
Vinyl is an inherently a flawed medium so a slight wave in the record that does not affect play, or some surface noise is just part of this fun fun world we all love. Also, if you have a $40 record player and the record is skipping please know there’s a 99% chance the problem is the record player not the brand new record. “the suitcase” style all in one players are a fantastic way to find out if you love the idea of records as much as we do, but they can’t handle the weight of many modern records and they tend to skip on newer pressings. Minor corner dings/plastic rip are also part of this world and do not quality for a return/replacement. If the damage is severe please contact us and we can work with you.
If your return is brand new unopened product in the same condition as purchased it can be returned for store credit. If you purchased online you can pay to have it shipped back we can give you store credit.
