"It's A Deep Soul Thing" Vol. 10

Here is a rare compilation of obscure soul, dating from the early '60s through the mid-'70s. There are liner notes, and they discuss with a fan's abandon many of the performers included here The music itself is ultimately what matters, and these 20 tracks are strictly topnotch…...The masters are no big deal in terms of quality, but it seems likely that there are fewer than a couple of handfuls of the original singles on the planet, so what are you going to do? These are definitely mastered from records, not session tapes. This collection is symptomatic of a genre of music that was widely recorded -- like doo wop before it -- and barely documented. While it's true that this is for the most part a bootleg, it is perhaps the only source for music that deserves to be studied, disseminated, and -- most of all -- played for perpetuity.(Thom Jurek, Allmusic)
