Scales, Harvey
Trying To Survive (color)
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.
