Rhythm and Blues

Formidable Rhythm and Blues (also known as Rhythm And Blues Formidable) was a French series launched by Barclay in 1966. As a distributor for different labels such as Atlantic, Atco, Stax, and others, this label played a significant role in promoting the vibrant genre of rhythm and blues. Over the years, some of these remarkable compilations were reissued through WEA Filipacchi Music in their renowned series.

Record Store Day is an annual event inaugurated in 2007 to "celebrate the culture of the independently owned record store". Held on one Saturday every April and every Black Friday in November, the day brings together fans, artists, and thousands of independent record stores around the world.

Record Store Day 2023

1962 was the peak year for hit records instrumental-style, with no less than 123 discs scoring on the American pop charts. There wasn’t much in the hit parade to interest R&amp;B fans though, apart from King Curtis’s Soul Twist, Booker T. and The MG's Green Onions and James Brown’s Night Train, but that’s where Mighty Instrumentals R&amp;B-Style 1962 comes in. So what was new in ‘62? A bit of surf, a bit of funk, a Civil Rights semi-instrumental, a brand new rhythm on Boogie Twist. More slinky organ groovers, uptown dancers and late night smoochers. And there you have it – 18 R&amp;B scorchers with rhythm aplenty.
