Randy Cozens Collection

[Chalky]

I have a couple of tapes Eddie Hubbard sent up to convert that Randy Cozens made. They were originally Mark Taylor's who then passed them onto Eddie.  Simply titled Randy Cozens Collection and there is volume 2 and 3.  Randy was a huge influence to many with great varied taste especially the more mid tempo and deeper stuff.

Great, thanks for uploading. This is an important source, as a springboard for the 6Ts, 100 Club and high quality Northern Soul finds that followed from that. I recently got the CD box set of his Mod 100, which I already had all the songs on, but it just felt right to get it curated that way. Of course, most Mods ignored it back then for the popular sounds of the time, including a very young me in the early 80s - but I found my way back to those truly Soulful sounds via Northern Soul plays, the Kent Records LPs then CDs which I treasure now as amongst the pinnacle of our music.

Ady, please reissue the Club Soul complilation on an expanded CD/digital as you have with a couple. I have the nusic but will buy it again to keep. That continued the foundation that Randy laid out with the 100 Sounds, it was such an important one at the time. That and the Shoes compilation were instructive and wonderful (and Gems too and.... oh reissue the lot).

Anyone interested in the 100 sounds CD set of Randy's choices, this is available from all good stockists:

Regardless of the Mod labelling, it's an comprehensive set of brilliant music from the earliest days of the Soul scene.
