Been a while, but boy is this worth the wait. I defy anyone who says that the UK record companies did not cater for Soul music in the UK, as they would source American soul records for release in the UK (remember back in the 60's imports were illegal and only gained access into the UK via ports, most notably in the North West and South East and also the USA based soldiers who bought their own way of life here, as they did wherever they were based, hence the finds to be made in Germany). This also lead to independents such as Deep Soul and Soul City releasing tracks that were sought after by the now emerging NS movement. That's my soap box moment, take it as you like, but more importantly enjoy the read.
