Revitalizing an iconic catalog
Henry Stone was one of the earliest executives in the recorded music business. For over 60 years, he produced and released thousands of records across early blues, funk and soul, and disco by hundreds of artists including Ray Charles, James Brown, K.C. & The Sunshine Band, Betty Wright, Timmy Thomas & Bobby Caldwell.
While Henry Stone was prolific at recording, over the years it was difficult to maintain an extensive collection of his own work. Fortunately, through the devoted community of collectors around the world, Joe Stone and his team were able to locate long lost master recordings to bring home to Henry Stone Music Inc. When they sought to clean up these original recordings, they turned to AudioShake to pull stems from onetake mono recordings – many from the 50’s through 70’s. With stems, the team at Henry Stone was able to exponentially increase the versatility and accessibility of the catalog for various licensing, sampling, remix and re-issue projects.
