Smile / Tuck 'n' Roll (Vinyl 7")

Bayou-born soul sensation, Durand Jones, is bringing his raw energy to Colemine Records with his debut 45. Jones brings you two fiery sides of original soul music, pairing soaring vocal work with dusty drums, slinking guitars and screaming organs. With a stellar background in gospel, Jones got his start in the church, singing in the choir of his hometown in rural Louisiana. When his music career took him to Bloomington, Indiana, he was selected to join the legendary Indiana University Soul Revue, and it was through his involvement that he met writer/producer duo Aaron Frazer and Blake Rhein. The three began writing original soul music, recording themselves straight to tape in the basements of Bloomington- a process which brings you the gritty sounds available on Ohio-based Colemine Records CLM-130.

The A-side features "Smile," a frenetic dance floor single that darts between post-disco groove and breakneck soul. The flip side is the heavy hitting instrumental strut "Tuck n Roll," a single take recording featuring the fuzzed out organ of Indications keyboard player Justin Hubler.

Our Grading Standards
We grade all vinyl using the Goldmine standard:
Mint (M): Perfect, unplayed condition.
Near Mint (NM): Nearly perfect with minimal signs of handling.
Very Good Plus (VG+): Shows light signs of play but plays with minimal surface noise. The most common grade for collectable vinyl.
Very Good (VG): Noticeable marks and some surface noise, but still an enjoyable listen.
Good (G): Heavy wear — for collectors only.

All records are graded visually and by play. Media and sleeve are graded separately.
