The third installment of the One-derful! Collection
focuses on M-Pac!, the blues and hard soul imprint of
this legendary R&B label group. M-Pac! is preceded by
the One-derful! and Mar-V-Lus compilations and will be
followed by releases of the Halo, Midas, and Toddlin'
Town sub-labels. This series marks the first in-depth
study of what was once one of Chicago's most prominent
African-American run labels.

Central to M-Pac! is the Leaner family. By 1963 when
brothers George and Ernie Leaner added M-Pac! as a
sub-label to their One-derful! label, they were
revered figures on Chicago's Record Row and beyond.
They distributed material from labels like Motown and
Stax and they attracted top talent. It wasn't uncommon
for a WVON DJ to help the Leaners sign their newest
discovery, or for their singers, musicians,
songwriters, or producers to have Chess or Motown on
their resumes.

Nearly 20 years prior, George and Ernie started work
at their sister's Groove Record Shop. Before long,
George was an assistant to legendary blues producer
Lester Melrose, and later the brothers helped run
Parkway Records - recording historic 78s featuring
Little Walter and Muddy Waters. They did all of this
before launching United Record Distributors in 1950 -
regarded as the nation's first black owned record
distributor. In addition, their uncle Al Benson was
the most influential Radio DJ on Chicago's South Side.
His on-air support and occasional partnerships with
the Chess brothers proved crucial to their early
success. He also helped many DJs get their start,
including Vivian Carter who later formed Vee-Jay
Records. In fact, United Record Distributors hosted
her wedding. The Leaner name also turns up in
connection with many of the greats in blues and soul:
George Leaner produced an early release for Berry
Gordy's Tamla label, and in the 1970s Ernie Leaner and
Stax's Al Bell partnered to form Ernie's Onestop and a
chain of Record World stores. The Leaner family were
among the most important black businessmen of music's
golden era, yet much of their history has only been
superficially documented until now.

Between 1962 and 1971, the One-derful! family of
labels released 180+ 45s of stunning soul, funk, and
gospel. Over two years of painstaking research and
work, including countless hours spent cataloging,
transferring, and mastering 250 of the label's tapes,
has contributed to an amazingly extensive reissue
collection. In addition, some of the world's leading
experts have contributed liner notes and interviewed
virtually every known surviving artist, producer, and
otherwise involved party. In total, the six volumes of
the One-derful! Collection include 12 LPs/6 CDs with
147 tracks, 57 which were never issued, and 144 pages
of 12" x 12" liner notes stuffed full of rare and
never before seen photos and memorabilia. Spanning
1962 to 1971, these compilations bring forth a wealth
of overlooked and never before heard recordings and
history.
