One for the soul fans, the collected works of Barbara & Brenda, soul duo extraordinary. As far as I know only the track "Who Put Out The Rumour" is missing from their recorded output. Apologies for the awful sound quality on the track Sally's Party - if anyone has a better version please post!

I have lobbied for an official B&B release, but apparently there are problems with licensing some of the tracks because no-one knows who owns the rights. So my home-made comp will have to do for now. I have added three neat extended mixes I came across - thanks to the creators!

Brenda left the music business to get married, but Barbara (now Barbara Roy) went on to star with Ecstasy, Passion & Pain on lead vocals and guitar. I had the pleasure of talking to her quite recently and she's still performing. She's also the aunt of Jocelyn Brown of Somebody Else's Guy Fame.

I think this is cracking set of soul tunes - Enjoy!!
