Cover Notes: 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 2LPs 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.
