BONUS 2 OF 3

STILL PAYING OUR DUES - Atlantic: Where It’s At

http://www21.zippyshare.com/v/95599191/file.html

The title of track 21 sums this project up. Al Perkins' swinging slab of Memphis marvellousness, Nothing Is Impossible might well serve as the motto for Kent's long-standing servant of soul, Ady Croasdell, and also for his quest to bring you the greatest dance recordings of the 60s and 70s in the finest possible sound. Having ceaselessly badgered the owners of the Atlantic catalogue for a chance to assemble their best known soul tracks into collections that do much to define the genre they represent, he's at last getting to grips with what they've got in a manner that can only be described as splendid. Having already given us the discotheque-oriented 60s overview that was last month's blockbusting At The Club (CDKEND 168), the erstwhile Harboro' Horace now points your feet a few hundred miles up the motorway with a stack of tracks that have ignited Northern dancefloors for three decades or more. -

1. Tony & Tyrone - Please Operator (2:47)
2. Bobby Wilson - Feels Good (1:59)

7. Pointer Sisters - Send Him Back (2:37)

Any chance of re-upping "At the Club"? I am reading "Respect Yourself" so this fits right in with Stax and Atlantic Records that I am consumed with.
