Outta Sight

Outta Sight is a UK based label that was originally launched in January 2007 as a Castle Music imprint, part of Sanctuary Records Group Ltd. It is now independently controlled and has become a limited company with Glenn Gunton and Tim Brown as directors. Although the limited company appears to have dissolved in 2015, Outta Sight continues to deliver a monthly collection of rare soul on vinyl and CD.

The label's Vinyl Series includes three different categories: OSV (Outta Sight Northern Soul), RSV (Outta Sight Rhythm & Soul), and MSV (Outta Sight Modern Soul). Each category has its own release schedule, with three 7-inch singles per month for OSV and RSV, and three per quarter for MSV. Every package is carefully compiled and packaged with the utmost reverence for this important archive.

With its innovative approach and collectable series, Outta Sight has established itself as a go-to destination for soul music enthusiasts looking for unique vinyl releases. Whether you're into Northern Soul, Rhythm & Soul, or Modern Soul, Outta Sight offers an impressive selection that will satisfy any collector's cravings.

Outta Sight presents a dozen highlights all of which escaped release at the time of recording. From the opening bars of the opening track (Melba Moore’s The Magic Touch) it is clear that this Long Player is a dynamite selection that demands dance floor attention. Detroit’s Cavaliers pound out Ooh It Hurts Me while Maxine Brown picks up the pace with her anthem It’s Torture. Lorraine Chandler delivers a flawless performance on Detroit’s take on a Bond theme while Philly’s Sharon Scott offers her awesome I’m Not Afraid. Porgy and The Monarchs close side one with their current winner Hey Girl, a track that was mistakenly pressed on a B-side by Musicor in 1975. Side 2 is equally uncompromising! The pace is set by The Metros with their ferocious take on Push A Little Harder. Philadelphia’s Harthon productions introduce us to The United Four and Shirley Turner while Jerry Ross’ Sapphires deliver an alternate vocal to Slow Fizz. Lonnie Youngblood tears up Tyrone Davis’ smash Turn Back The Hands Of Time and Geno Washington closes with his version of The Precisions’ If This Is Love.
