Keep The Faith Vol 3

[Guest]

Found this album lurking at the back of my LP box:

Keep The Faith Vol 3 - Joy Records (JOYS 225)

I presume I bought this in the seventies

Does anyone have any information as to why the album was made ? There are no sleeve notes , just the track listings.

Was it created just to cash in on Northern Soul or was this a labour of love by an enthusiast?

It certainly has a mixture of styles, not 100% Northern Soul but some soul tracks from the sixties as well.

Side A

That Beatin' Rhythm - Richard temple

No Deposits - No Returns - Alvin Cash

That's How It Is - Otis Clay

You're Out Of My Mind - Viola Wills

These Arms Of Mine - Albert Washington

Do The Temptation Walk - Jackie Lee

Side B

Harlem Shuffle - Bob & Earl

The Town I Live In - McKinley Mitchell

Doin' The Ali Shuffle - Alvin Cash

I Live The Life I Love - Willie parker

What Is Soul - The Furys

Would You Believe - Jackie Lee

Appreciate any information on this album

I remember this coming out at the time. The 3 volumes were issued by President Records in early 70s featuring the types of things they had put out as 45s on their President and JayBoy labels.

The information is most appreciated and adds a little more understanding to some of the records I have lurking in my record boxes that haven't seen the light of day in xx years !!!

Many thanks

I bought all three when they came out. Must have been about 72. A good way to start collecting "Northern". I've still got them.

Hasn't one of them got something really good on it? Brain's saying Hytones "Bigger and Better" maybe - could be wrong though.

Arrgh - I dunno then. Something by the Avons maybe?? I'm sure there was something that was a bit out of the ordinary and a few quid on 45...

Doing my napper in now.
