PRE-ORDER: Harvey Scales "Trying to Survive" 2xLP
THIS IS A PRE-ORDER: We expect this to ship on or around JULY 11th, 2025. Any items that are ordered with this will be held until they can all ship together. If you need certain items faster please order them separately. From his early-'60s days as hip shaker Twistin' Harvey to his late-'70s nights on the light up dance floor in search of a "Disco Lady," Harvey Scales survived scrapes with the pop charts, bankrupt record companies, walk outs, sit ins, strikes, price hikes, lay offs, and under table payoffs over a 40 year career. Compiled here for the first time are Scales' Cuca and Magic Touch recordings, 27 slabs of cracker jack R&B, stomping northern soul, divorce-ridden deep soul, feverish funk, and hustling disco spread across 2 LPs and housed in a deluxe gatefold jacket.. Bill Dahl's in depth notes document the entire sordid affair, with dozens of period photos and ephemeral bits illustrating the accompanying 20 page book. So necessary. Track List: 1 Glamour Girl2 (On
