First-ever audio history chronicling the Ru-Jac label with rare singles and previously unissued ’60s Soul/R&B. The Baltimore label was founded in 1963 by local promoter Rufus Mitchell and investor partner Jack Bennett (their names forming the Ru-Jac name). The label primarily released regional Soul/R&B singles from 1963 until the mid 1970s, when Mitchell stepped away to focus on another business venture. Something Got A Hold On Me: The Ru-Jac Records Story Volume One: 1963–1964 contains 28 tracks, 10 of them previously unissued. The other 18 tracks chart the history of the first 45s issued by the label.
