Description
Act 1s fantastic Its The Same Old Story, one of the most melodious songs of the era, is lifted from their Spring album. The same label also gives us Millie Jacksons raunchy If That Dont Turn You On from her For Men Only LP, suitably edited for DJs convenience. The Mayberry Movement were on sister label Event and we have included their smooth and addictive Two Wrongs Dont Make A Right, a turn of the century tape discovery.
On the pricey side, we feature Eddie Billups anthem Shake Off That Dream all together now, sing along. Scarce is more the word for Gail Andersons Dor release Just A Little Ugly, which is anything but, while stable-mates the Natural Resources have the recently discovered tape find If There Were No You, which would have graced the Blackpool Mecca if it had been known about a few decades earlier.
We dip our toes into 1980s water with tracks from seminal Detroit producer Dave Hamilton, whose later recordings are proving to be as highly admired as his work from the golden era of 60s soul. Nightchills I Dont Play Games sounds like a hit, while the slightly earlier Ive Never Felt This Way Before by New Experience is more anguished.
The Hesitations New York GWP recording Go Away is as polished and professional as we have grown accustomed to from that high-achieving group. More top-class harmony comes from Street People with Your Momma Had A Baby, a previously unissued track from their first recording session, while Darondo provides another gem of California soul from his own unique perspective.
After reissuing Herman Davis highly collectable Gotta Be Loved on our Masterpieces Vol 4 CD we discovered the brilliant Part 2, which was abandoned before the Venus V 45 was pressed. Now it rounds off an LP that will grace the overburdened shelves of modern soul-lovin Kent fans and fit neatly into those big boxes the DJs lug about.
