Before Jesse J. Jones scrambled back to Atlanta and opened his Tragar and Note labels, he’d spent half a decade in Los Angeles working for Lee Rupe’s Ebb outfit and running his own Lita, Morocco, and 4-J labels. Compiled here for the first time is the best of the label’s 14 single run. From Little Alice and The Four J’s girl group stylings to R&B pleaders by Jimmy Lewis and Lonnie Russ, Eccentric Soul: The 4-J Label gives a crucial look at a legendary producer trying to find his sound.
