* NEW * Rabbit Town Soul

Stand out track here for me is "Blue Lady" by The Soul Explosion Band which is well worth the price of the CD as the 45 will run you $70+ depending on condition. Other highlights include tracks by Vernon Steve Weakly, The Duponts, The Fourth Session and Donny Mann. More than a fair share of repeats, sound quality varies (likely due to use of compressed files).

Time Served

Blink and you will miss picking up these very limited release CD's. Sweet soul jams by The Magic Tones, First Class, Magic Touch, The New Creation, The Whatnauts and others. A very good addition to your soul music library. I kicked the rating down one due to the number of repeats.

Two very nice sweet jams in "Sharing" and "Last Night" on this CD. If you are heavy unto late 70's soul this one is for you.

Dream Merchant

When I was getting deeper into soul music having this collection on LP, The original East Side Story and the two Hey Love LP's set you in front of the soul pack. The CD here represents only the first LP from this collection. Standard, well known soul classics. I have not seen this one available for some years now.

East L.A. Most Requested

Here is a series that has been around for many years, first on tape then the update to CD. All standard tracks throughout the whole set. The volume 3 which is out now is far different than the original that is no longer available.

Monday Night Oldies

A recommended pick up for someone who is just beginning their soul music journey. All repeats, sound quality varies.

Back In The Day Oldies

This is is for the novice, occasional soul fan. It can be found at a decent price and sound quality is good. All repeats therefore, unless you new to this genre, chances are you will pass it up.

I Will Always Be There For You

The good tracks on this release are available in many other comps with better track selections. Nothing new so you can skip this one.

The 18 Best Super Love Jams

I am not sure what was the reason for putting this compilation together as it is a reshuffle of material on other ITP Records releases. Seems like the soul well at ITP is running a bit dry.
