Best Soul Cd's On The Market?


Recommended Posts

All the kent stuff is great and great liner notes,

The soul of detroit on soul supply,

The southern soul CDs 1-3 on ace are effing amazing,

Not always a big fan of the goldmine stuff unless it was the detroit stuff, but boy could they put a deep soul cd out,top marks for them.

Obviously the Dave godin albums,

The tommy Tate on pvine excellent.

Not a big player of CDs I tend to put them on IPod and leave them in the corner, more interested in the sleeve notes,it'd be a perfect world if downloads gave you the liner notes too,and if APOEL won the champions league.

Thanks for the replys so far, will check a few out.Kent cd's especially, which is of course the obvious answer (that I didn't think of that myself  :sleep3: ). To answer your question Stevie, my relatives are not really into the music and certainly not into one aspect of it, I'd just like to give them some top music that they haven't heard before.

.. Then I think the deep soul treaures are a winner for an easy listen... All the best Dave...

I'm not really a cd man myself, but I do think that a good cd would be a nice stocking filler for my relatives. Problem is I'm completely clueless but I'm sure there's a few members of this board that can put me in the right direction. Anyone?

 

Thx in advance!

 

Goldmine do/did a series based on famous clubs, Mecca, Torch, Wheel etc, well worth hunting down. You can pick them up on Ebay, new at about £3 - 4.00 each.

I must have 100+ northern cds mostly goldmine/kent,but I bought them years ago when they were coming out like what seemed like weekly...I haven't bought any since.apart from  2cds with all the kapp releases.

 

they just seemed to of just stopped dead back then & the odd ones coming out was stuff I had on all there other cds,apart from 1 or 2 tracks I didn't have.they had to be the ones youd buy the cd for,lol.but didn't see the point of buying for the odd record.

 

I know there is a few good ones that have came out..but was it a case of they had put out all the ones they had the rights to & now have run out of tracks they can put out,seems to be mostly from the vaults/un released stuff.

 

I could be wrong as I havnt looked @ any new ones in years,apart from adys pied piper cd.

 

I have all the great records in my memory,so I can pick & sing to them any time I want,lol...a walking living juke box,lol

Dave - on reflection, you need to grab any of the cheapest compilations still available in the shops, usually priced at £5- £10; these are generally compilations of the best of compilations if that makes sense ie good, old established tunes that could be accessible to someone not on the scene. The Torch, Wigan Casino, Blackpool Mecca series of CD's are still available and are well worth a close look.

The troops have done a fine job of identifying the very best CD's released over the last 10-15 years but these will probably only be available second hand on Amazon or eBay.

I visited the new HMV store on Oxford Street yesterday and there were virtually no Northern Soul CD's there; there were a few more in the larger HMV store but really only the remnants of what has been a 20 year production line of decent releases. It looks as though the CD business has almost run it's course so I would urge anyone seeking decent music, to sweep the shelves clear of the last few...
