Stunning compilation of seventy five classic and rare songs that tell the story of the golden era of Southern soul from 1961 to 1977!
This is an amazing compilation of super-soulful magically cathartic music that comprehensively defines the genre's sound and variety. Record Collector mmagazine called it "one of the best compilations ever, in any genre" - which is praise indeed!
Lavishly packaged as a deluxe hard back book in a CD slipcase with an extensive 72 page booklet full of notes and photos! It's worth the price!
Highly recommended!
