Description

Perception Productions, a New York based label that ran from the late 60s through until 1974, was a strangely eclectic affair. Its roster stretched from a radical Afro-American poet through to the pop band King Harvest.

Distilled down into this compilation the label provides us a view of Manhattan’s black music scene of the period, from the established greats to the fresh young things who would make their mark in the coming years. The two men who ran the label, President Terry Phillips and Boo Frazier burned brightly for that half a decade before almost entirely disappearing from the music scene.

When they started up the label their initial signings suggested that the black high arts were their true love. By the time Perception closed its doors in 1974 it had been producing records for nearly 5 years. It left behind a legacy of great soul, funk and jazz, some of which is contained within this compilation. Dean Rudland December 2011.
