Celebrating 40 years since the game-changing For Dancers Only Kent LP 001, For Dancers Forty revisits the Los Angeles labels that have given us so much.

Like Kent 001 the collection represents the broad church of the Biharis recordings and features soul stompers, Rhythm & Blues busters, girly grooves and heavenly harmony.

Most tracks are new to Kent LPs and theres a brand new 1966 soul recording from 50s Modern R&B artists Aaron Collins & The Teen Queens. Long-time Kent favourites Jackie Day, Z. Z. Hill and Johnny Copeland are included with some of their underplayed tracks for Copeland its the first vinyl outing for his dancer I Was Born To Love You. As ever on our rare soul scene, its the lesser-known artists who we revel in and there are stunning tracks from the Sims Twins, the Marvellos, the Intentions and the in-demand (due to the Kent 45 being deleted) I Got Love by the Other Brothers.
