Soul Galore Label

[Godzilla]

Possibly remembered with less fondness than Soul Sounds - no doubt due to Simon Soussan involvement, particulalry those awful synth instrumentals. Have to say some pretty fantastic stuff came out on these booties in the 70's though. Anybody got a complete listing?

A few personal faves were:

Doni Burdick - Bari Track / I Have Faith in You

Inticers - Since You Left / I Got To Find Me A Baby

Fabulous Jades - Come On and Live / Planning This Moment

Benny Curtis - Dirty Hearts / (can't remember what the flip is)

and of course "Bob Wilson Sounds"

Of yeah Four Perfections and Jimmy Mack too.

Damn good recordings compared to some of the other boots around at the same time as well. Not that I'm advocating bootlegging, of course but as mentioned in the other thread, they are a part of our history like it or not.

No argument from me Godz. History will be the judge.

I guess it's the same old story, and we will all disagree on that.

From a personal perspective, empasis personal, at that time we all wanted the sounds and were not really fussed how we got them.

Older and wiser now.

That said of all the 6 titles you mentioned I still play 4 constantly on tape

Weren't Soul Fox Strings and Mirwood strings etc on the Soul Fox label rather than Soul Galore Mark?

Any chance of throwing the label listing up just out of interest?

Cheers

Hey! You're the expert, Mark

Just an old codger's memory playing up.

Hang on - just remembered another one. Sounds of Lane - Serenade. It was actually an instrumental version of The Electric Prunes - I Had Too Much To Dream Last Night, really drenched in reverb. Worked better as a psych tune than a soul one. Really, really cannot believe anyone played that out other than the odd youth club.
