Candi Staton Candi Staton LP Album Vinyl LP

A powerhouse of deep Southern soul, Candi Staton remains one of the most emotive and enduring albums of the early ’70s. Featuring her unmistakable vocal fire, the record blends Muscle Shoals‑style grooves, gospel‑infused delivery and richly arranged ballads.

This 2024 Kent Soul reissue (HIQLP130) brings the album back to vinyl with restored stereo sound, showcasing standout performances including “Do It in the Name of Love”, “Blackmail”, “In the Ghetto” and the self‑penned “The Thanks I Get for Loving You”. A definitive slice of soul history, beautifully presented for modern collectors.
