The Brent record label released soul from across the States, and some of the best it had to offer is found on this new Ace/Kent collection.
"Bob Shad ran several record labels between the late '50s and the mid-'70s, Brent being the one he chose to issue the majority of his '60s soul output. He made good contacts around the USA while working for Mercury and used them when he launched his labels...Shad released music from any area that was happening, and was one of the first to venture into Detroit soul, before it had really exploded." - Ace Records
