After we finished Eccentric Soul: The Deep City Label, a grip of tapes turned up at famed Miami producer Willie Clarke's ex-wife's house. From the second we heard The Rollers, a previously unreleased Deep City girl group, we knew it had to be available on 45, if for no other purpose than to file it in our own boxes. "Knockin' At The Wrong Door" borrows heavily from the Jackson 5's "I Want You Back," while the flip is a nice ballad in the Honey Cone vein.

So much to discover here, and not all of it is confined to our ongoing 7-inch wanderings at the fringes of Numero's own flagship Eccentric Soul series. Rabbit holes are spelunked concerning Wee's "Try Me," which should by all means lead listeners to the Wee LP in our 1200 series. The Little Ed triple-45 box may not say "eccentric soul" on it, but damned if it isn't that and then some.
