Funky SOUL train - get on board !
One of the finest CD compilations of 60's soul music you're going to find - a great mixture of better and lesser known tunes, but all killa and no filla. Complement this with the 'Stax Gold' CD for the stuff from '68 and beyond and you've got the start of one seriously soulful collection ! Does exactly what it says on the tin - if this lot doesn't move your soul, book an appointment with your GP.
You won't sit down
Subtitled "60's club soul classics from the vaults of Atlantic, Atco, Loma, Reprise, Stax and Warner Bros Records 1963-1968", this 30-track collection gathers a sure-fire selection of tried and tested floor fillers, annotated by Richard Searling, who had a hand in the compilation. Well-known standards are mingled with harder to find obscurities that have found favour in the clubs, dance halls, discos and youth clubs long after their original shelf-life might have been supposed to be over. If you are over-familiar with tracks by Aretha Franklin or Booker T., you are still likely to be delighted by the post-Motown Mary Wells ballad or the Ramsey Lewis-like Googie Rene Combo instrumental.
The album is topped and tailed with the 1966 James Bond-inspired Sock It To 'Em JB, closing with Part 2, which formed the original flipside and was an instrumental version of the song treated electronically with reverb and echo and so forth; possibly the forerunner of the reggae dub versions and dance remixes of a decade later.
Much of the music inbetween was recorded at the Stax Studios in Memphis or the Atlantic Studios in New York, but some of it was made in Nashville, New Orleans, Detroit, Philadelphia, Los Angeles and Chicago, often using the top studio house bands. 18 of the 30 tracks are in mono. 78.50 minutes of top quality soul of all genres. You won't sit down.
Sock It To Me One More Time
Nearly 40 years ago I said I'd never get tired of this music and I still love every minute of it. Although I had a great deal of these tracks on vinyl already I didn't think twice about buying when I saw this CD was available.
A fine selection of some of the all time great soul tracks from the Sixties and evocative of club life at the time.
Excellent.
