They have been pressed around since the late 7T's and there's about 4 or 5 difderent Soul Town numbers of them 4 tracks 7 inches EPs. They are low FI sounding like there's one channel missing. They are defo bootlegs but mind you made in Belgium for the popcorn scene. Noithing to do with the Brit northern market. They are genuingly reprensentative of the music played in the pop-corn clubs in Belgium back then. For the soul behalf of it anyway. At one time, it was an easy seller for the copy with the Tangeers "let my heart and soul be free"on since it was then favoured on he `northern soul scene and the Okeh copy enjoyed a second revival tripling in price. The boot was not out then. Kurt Harris "emperors", Sam Fletcher "other place" and other mid-slow two times tempos were raved in Belgium way before they were accepted in England's clubs. David Coleman was a big record then also (both of his biggies were). Belgian record dealers use to go to England since the mid early 7T's to buy bulks of records before british dealears made it the other way around ! I never take a stand on those ridiculous nationalists stands about who did better than the others. Then tables turned... The Club-discothequepop-corn thing in Belgium was maybe more open to John Doepublic than the northern soul scene wich was much more sub-culture spicified and coded. And so some good oldies tracks found favor first on Belgium soil and discos because they were just an easy catch on the ear and easy to swing with. Before gaining a second revived deejay and collector life intrests accross the chunnel for much more money with a broader European demand that is.

theres a few of these ep's about ive had 2 different ones, they have been around a few years
