| More than three decades after its original release, Marie Queenie Lyons cult classic "Soul Fever", is one
of the most well regarded "lost" albums of all-time. Queenie certainly
had the qualifications (in both sass and vocals) to be hired by James
Brown as one of his "funky divas". Marie "Queenie" Lyons is an enigma.
After the 1970 release of this, her only album, she disappeared forever.
Because of the prodigious wealth of talent in black America at the
time, great albums with tiny marketing budgets were often overlooked.
'Soul Fever" was just one drop in a fabulous, funky ocean. Over the
decades, this album has become one of the rarest and most prized
Southern soul albums from that prolific era. Seriously recommended for
fans of Betty Davis.
VINYL: NM, basically faultless.
COVER:NM. A little edgewear on the corners otherwise just about perfect.
DeLuxe, silver lettering, black label. DLP 12001.
