Ethan Powers is the man behind the vinyl at that institution of Chicago record stores Out Of The Past Records. They've been going since the '60s and you can probably still find stock from back then in their overflowing shelves. Definitely a sight to behold. Tell Ethan that Kris sent you. (Oh, and this Top 5 List is a heavily edited version - check issue #2 of the Soultearoa Shakedown 'zine for the full version.)
Issue #2 of the 'zine will be available for FREE at the next NZ Soul All Dayer event - also FREE, from midday til midnight, Saturday 17 August, at the Britomart Country Club.
