Duke, Doris
A Legend In Her Own Time
Doris Duke's Swamp Dogg-produced "I'm A Loser" album rightly enjoys a legendary status among soul fans, and has been one
of Kents best-selling vinyl titles since we recommitted to the format a few years back. Her second album "A Legend In
Her Own Time" - which Swamp also produced - is less well known outside of the inner sanctum of southern soul collectors,
but it is an equally essential record that once again captured this great singer at the peak of her considerable vocal
powers. After the great reception of our vinyl album of "I'm A Loser" we are pleased to make Doris follow up available
again in the format, and for the first time since it was originally released here in 1971. "Legend" was recorded in the
epicentre of southern soul that is the Muscle Shoals area, at the revered Quinvy Studios in Sheffield, Alabama. As you
might expect the musicianship is wonderful, and the choice of repertoire and Doris voice equally so. Our limited edition
"heavy vinyl" release replicates the original US mankind release externally, but also comes complete with inner bag
containing a lengthy "inner sleeve note" and as many illustrations as we could fit onto 12 inches of paper!
180 gram coloured vinyl, heavy duty sleeve.
