Light: On The South Side on Limited Edition 2LP + Coffeetable Book Set from Numero Group Between 1975-1977, Chicago's South Side night clubs were a little lighter. Photographer Michael Abramson hit Perv's House, Pepper's Hideout, The High Chaparral, The Patio Lounge, and The Showcase Lounge, not to capture the artists on stage, instead popping off a half dozen rolls every night on the crowd. Light: On The South Side gathers for the first time over 100 of these images, as Numero Group shines its own strobe on yet another dark corner of the past. The 132-page hard back book features photos, an ephemera section, and an essay by Nick Hornby. "Light: On the South Side is undoubtedly Numero’s most extravagant and audaciously packaged set—a dazzling collection that should receive an automatic Grammy nomination for Best Recording Package. Housed in a slipcase box, the compilation’s 2-LP gatefold vinyl and 132-page hardbound 12x12 book offer the ultimate immersion into Chicago’s African-American South Side nightclubs and the sounds, sights, personalities, and smells that filled them on a nightly basis. The gorgeous collection is a prerequisite for any fan of blues, R&B, and soul (and by natural extension, rock and pop)—and anyone curious to glimpse a bygone era of life-after-dark celebrations staged by urbanites that lived for evenings on the dance floor, in front of the Wurlitzer, and in leather booths surrounded by the opposite sex, booze, and cigarettes." --Bob Gendron, TONE Audio, Issue 25 Light: On The South Side Track Listing: |
