Stellar soul singles on Brunswick – nearly all of which come from the prime mid-to-late 60s period at the legendary Chicago label – with Jackie Wilson, Billy Butler, Barbara Acklin, Gene Chandler, Erma Franklin, Lavern Baker and many more! There's a tight focus here on mid-to-late 60s Brunswick – all of them great – and many are quite rare. There are some modest or regional hits in the set, but most might have been forgotten if not for the devotion of the Northern Soul scenes to come. It's got a number of uptempo stormers, midtempo groovers and some sweet surprises. Soul galore, indeed! Includes "Soul Galore" by Jackie Wilson, "Have More Time" by Marvin Smith, "Oh Linda" by Leroy Taylor, "I'll Bet You" by Billy Butler, "There Was A Time" by Gene Chandler, "Sweet, Sweet Revenge" by Alvin Valentine, "A Strange Way" by The Loreleis, "Just Ain't No Love" by Barbara Acklin, "I'm The Only One To Do It" by Lavern Baker, "California Montage" by Young-Holt Unlimited and many more. © 1996-2014, Dusty Groove, Inc.

Tellingly, when Paul Weller came to record 2010’s Mercury-nominated Wake Up The Nation, it was 1980s Sound Affects that his collaborator and producer Simon Dine held up as a model. Sound Affects was originally released at a time when The Jam was considered the biggest band in Britain. The album followed the band’s first number one single-- "Going Underground" and features the group’s second UK number one single, "Start!"--a track built around almost exact copies of the bass-line and guitar solos from The Beatles’ "Taxman" (at the time Weller considered the album a cross between Off the Wall and Revolver). It includes many of the band’s classic songs: "That’s Entertainment" (written in a caravan in Selsey, after the pub), never released as a single in UK,"Man in the Corner Shop", "Pretty Green", the pure-pop of "Boy About Town" and "Dream Time". It’s regarded by critics and fans (as well as Weller) as their most adventurous and experimental collection of material, drawing musical influences from the 'post-punk' groups of the late-70s--Wire, Gang Of Four and Joy Division--as well as neo-psychedelic touches from The Beatles and The Zombies. The distinctive cover art is a pastiche of the artwork used on various BBC sound effects records of the 1970s, incorporating pop-art imagery.
This 30th anniversary two-disc, deluxe edition of the classic Jam album has been digitally re-mastered and features 22 bonus tracks, demos, b-sides and alternative versions. Also included is a 24-page booklet with extensive new sleevenotes by Guardian writer John Harris, a brand new interview with Paul Weller, rare photos and period memorabilia. The bonus material includes eight previously unreleased tracks: demos of "Pretty Green" and "Start!", alternate versions of "Set the House Ablaze" and "Monday" and a cover of Kinks' "Waterloo Sunset", and two instrumental demos.

The Philly Sound You Never Heard Vol. 1 - The Songs, Productions & Arrangements Of Morris Bailey
http://www13.zippyshare.com/v/9818144/file.html
Unheard Philly soul genius from the vaults of producer Morris Bailey – a treasure trove of rare singles in a wonderful variety of styles! Bailey's ear for a tune is very clear from the quality of this work – obscure sides that rival, if not beat, some of the best-remembered Philly soul sides of the late 60s – put together beautifully with a quality level that clearly marks Morris as a professional producer, yet one who can still keep all the spontaneous qualities of the music intact! This volume of the series focuses mostly on male singers, including some great groups whose harmonies soar on uptempo groovers, and slide soulfully along on some mellower, more laidback tracks – and the collection draws from a range of indie label singles, and also includes some previously unreleased selections as well. Titles include "Do You Do Lovin" by The Orientals, "Little Samson" by Johnny Newbag, "Run Little Girl" by Donnie Elbert, "Baby Man" by Essau Isaacs, "Look For The Beauty Inside" by Bobby Wells, "When It Rains Love It Pours" by Jesse Fountain, "Sweet Thing" by Johnny Newbag, "Face The Music" by The Delights, "Plain As The Nose On Your Face" by Thoughts, "I Can't Believe You Said You Love Me" by Lou Jackson, and "I Don't Mind Doin It" by Billy Harner. © 1996-2014, Dusty Groove, Inc.

The Philly Sound You Never Heard Vol. 2 - Philly Soul Girls Vol. 2 - Morris Bailey Girl Groups 1964 To 1971
http://www13.zippyshare.com/v/8796171/file.html
A treasure trove of female soul – all from the Philly scene of the 60s and 70s, and all of it rare enough to warrant the "never heard" promise in the title! The material all comes from the vaults of Philly producer Morris Bailey – not as big a name as Gamble & Huff, but clearly a cat who knows his way around a studio when working with such great talent like this! The set starts out with some straight-romping numbers that echo the familiar Philly styles of the mainstream – but as the set goes on, there's definitely an evolution in sound – one that shows more complicated charts, unusual themes, and some of the growing sophistication you might hear in early Gamble & Huff Philly productions. A number of tracks here are previously unreleased – and titles include "The Bigger Your Heart" by Mel Vena Allen, "All That's Good" by Tico Mills, "Your Kinda Love" by Bette Renee & Thrillettes, "Bless Your Love" by Femm-ells, "Lonely Little Girl" by Little Teena Bronson, "Cross My Heart" by Joan Proctor, "Trouble" by Cooperettes, "Something We Got" by Minx, and "We Got The Feeling" by Ronnie & Joyce. © 1996-2014, Dusty Groove, Inc.

Philly Soul Girls Vol. 1 1963-1967
http://www11.zippyshare.com/v/51899597/file.html
B & L Productions, formed by songwriter Frank Bendinelli and arranger Leroy Lovett, recorded quite a bit of music in Philadelphia in the ‘60s for either their own small labels or for lease to other companies. Much of it typified the city's transition from R&B, doo-wop, twist, and girl group music to early Philadelphia soul, and this 26-song compilation of rare singles and unreleased material focuses on the women vocalists they recorded during the mid-'60s. It could not be said that Motown wasn’t an inspiration for many of these songs, but that's not the worst thing in the world; at least the model is good, and the execution more than pleasing. Certainly the standout cut here is Patty & the Emblems' ‘Mixed Up Shook Up Girl’ (the unreleased long version), with its swaggering horns and confident girl-group-styled vocal. It was a big hit in Philly in 1964, and had the potential to be a big hit everywhere. Another highlight is Joyce Bennett's ‘New Boy,’ a good sassy girl-group tune with an uptown sound. Incidentally, the four cuts by Honey & the Bees are by an entirely different group than the more popular Honey & the Bees that recorded for Arctic/Josie. All in all, this is a wonderfully rich body of work filled with many overlooked gems and lots of upbeat groovers with a Northern Soul bounce, including ‘Call On Me’ and 'It Happens Everyday' by The Persianettes, ‘The Hard Way’ by The Butterflies, ‘Uncle Sam’ by The Sherwoods, ‘That Guy Belongs To Me’ by The Swans, ‘Inside of Me’ by Fannie & The Varcells, ‘Dead End’ and ‘Here I Am’ by Ann Byers, plus two great tracks by unknown artists! Although, of course, the city had in the early ‘70s a huge reputation for pre-disco girl groups, this great collection takes a good look at Philly's strong female soul scene during the ‘60s. Shouldn’t miss this one! http://www.answers.com/, http://www.dustygroove.com/
