ULTRA RARE GA. SOUL 45 BILLY BYRD on SCREAM RECORDS
LOST IN THE CROWD
B/W
SILLY KIND OF LOVE
VG CONDITION
RECORDED AT LANCE-ARNOLD RECORDING STUDIO
ATLANTA, GA.
SOME INFO I FOUND CONCERNING Lance-Arnold Recording Studios:
"In March of 1973, Mr. Ed Waller dropped by Lance-Arnold Recording Studios to see me. At the time I was producing and arranging for several R&B and funk artists. A partial list of these artists were as follows: Billy Byrd, Southside Coalition, Thomasina Walker, Calvin Arnold, Videlore Jordan, Prophecy, and Liz Lands. Also, we recorded the rhythm tracks to "Let It Flow" and "Boy You're Growing on me" for Tamiko Jones.
The 4-track studio was owned by Herb Lance and Calvin Arnold and was built from the ground up! The recording engineer was the very talented Barney Conway." (SQUIDOO)
A REVIEW OF THIS RECORD:
My total favourite at the moment is BILLY BYRD on Scream with ‘Lost In The Crowd’. There will be an odd copy or so around the UK a’la Joseph Webster, Mixed Feelings etc but it is essentially rare and boy, is it good! If I tell you that it mixes perfectly into Angela Davis’ ‘My Love Is So Strong’ you will see where it is coming from. Actually it is a little bit slower than that particular track but has some similar ingredients. Billy Byrd (whoever he was) is certainly a lost talent with gritty vocals a la Herman Hitson (who was from Atlanta as is this disc) superb horns and a sparse-but-effective female chorus. Quite outstanding. Flip it over and ‘Silly Kind of Love’ is just as good with more of a high-hat rhythm and possibly an even better performance from the singer. (beatinrhythm)
Very Good (VG): A record in very good condition has been played and handled, but still provides a pleasant listening experience. Records in this condition might have some surface noise present and may have audible and visual scratches that are noticeable.
THIS RECORD SOUNDS GREAT ON MY SYSTEM.
