    Over 10 years ago, Leon Michels released , Sounding Out The City. It was Michels' first full length record under the moniker El Michels Affair. At the time, the budding retro soul scene consisted of mostly organ quartets a la The Meters and of course, Sharon Jones & The Dap Kings. At the time 'Sounding Out The City' was under promoted and didn't get anywhere near the credit it deserved. Deep funk heads at the time ate this record up and it received rave reviews. Big up's to Big Crown records for bringing this one back to life!
