While Al Bell was busy across town turning Stax into a national Black powerhouse, Ron and Sari Bledsoe’s short-lived Active imprint operated out of a storefront on Chelsea Avenue, using nearby Manassas High as a talent pool. Rubye James and Linda Royston—Sweet \u0026amp; Innocent—joined a roster that included The Epics, First Company, and The Memphis Mustangs, groups all lost to the tide of time. The Sweet \u0026amp; Innocent’s are a rare blend of atmospheric blues, post-Beehive girl group harmony, and Jacksons-inspired kid soul. 'Spin it one time for me,' Ron Bledsoe penned on promo copies of their January 1972 burner 'Cry Love.' Let’s spin it again.\" - \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.turntablelab.sbs\/collections\/the-numero-group\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-href=\"https:\/\/www.turntablelab.sbs\/collections\/the-numero-group\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eNumero Group\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eofficial reissue of 2 Memphis soul rarities, originally released in 1972 on the Active label\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003egold colored 7\" vinyl pressing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003elimited edition\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003emusic label: Numero Group 2021\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eALSO AVAILABLE\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.turntablelab.sbs\/products\/sly-johnson-different-strokes-is-it-because-im-black-indie-exclusive-colored-vinyl-vinyl-7\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eSyl Johnson: Different Strokes \/ Is It Because I'm Black - Indie Exclusive Colored Vinyl 7\"\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.turntablelab.sbs\/products\/pastor-t-l-barrett-the-youth-for-christ-choir-like-a-ship-nobody-knows-colored-vinyl-vinyl-7\" target=\"_blank\"\u003ePastor T.L.
