V.A. - Carolina Soul Survey: The Reflection Sound Story (2002) Music

Posted by funkerman at June 20, 2014

Carolina Soul Survey: The Reflection Sound Story album for sale was released Apr 18, 2006 on the Grapevine label. Although they never gets the same credit as Detroit, Memphis or Philadelphia, the Carolinas were a pivotal destination on the roadmap of classic soul – as the epicenter of the famed "beach music" scene, the region was for years a hotbed of driving, up-tempo R&B, and during the late 1960s and early 1970s also hosted a crop of small, independent soul labels.

Genre: Funk, Soul, RnB / Label: Kent Dance

It's jewels have only been revealed to Northern Soul collectors over time and several are ridiculously scarce; Little Johnny Hamilton's 'Keep On Movin' and the Swans' 'Nitty Gritty City' remain one-off disc discoveries. Guaranteed dancefloor classics abound, including Rita & the Tiaras' 'Gone With The Wind Is My Love', Little Johnny Hamilton's 'Oh How I Love You' and the Puffs' 'I Only Cry Once A Day Now'. The Superbs' 'Wind In My Sails' and Milton James' mesmeric 'My Lonely Feeling' represent the funkier end of the Northern Soul sound, while tracks by Ray Marchand and the Shades Of Jade are subtle mid-tempo soul of the highest quality. Nearly all are rare, expensive and beautiful, while Kenard's 'What Did You Gain By That' is highly imaginative, and the Fidels' 'I'm Givin' You Notice Baby' is just a classic '60s soul stomper.

First time on CD for this 1978 solo album from the former Supreme. It is a heavily in demand album featuring the outstanding two-steppers 'How Can You Live Without Love' and 'Rising Cost Of Love', both written by Grey and Hanks. They also wrote the modern soul favourite 'No limit' a great string laden dancer. Also worthy of note are the mid tempo ballad 'Change Up', the dancers 'That's The Way Love Grows', 'No One Like My Baby' and 'You've Been So Good To Me'. Remastered to a high standard this under rated album is classic 70's soul and worthy of any soul collection.

Funk Factory ‎- Funk Factory (1975) [2014 Japan] Music

Posted by JET 1 at Feb. 21, 2016

A massive bit of funky fusion from the 70s – an album that was crucially overlooked at the time, but which has gone onto become a crate-diggers classic over the years! The group's fronted by Polish jazz legends Michal Urbaniak and Urszula Dudziak – but it also features a fair bit of American players too – all working together in a blend of the best funky fusion modes going down in both the US and Eastern Europe in the mid 70s! Drums on the set are totally great.

Spark Records was started in 1967 as the record label of the Southern Music Group. During the late 1960s and early to mid 1970s a distinct and select flow of Northern Soul singles started to appear on the label. Many of these have become relatively rare and are now fetching high prices. This compilation album showcases a selection of these collectable 7 single releases including Gene Latter's dancefloor favourite Sign On The Dotted Line (covered in the 1980s by John Bradbury of The Specials offshoot band JB's All Stars), Tommy Hunt's crossover Top 30 hit single Love On The Losing Side and Ruth Swann's cover version of the northern soul classic Tainted Love.
