I have recently bought the Beres Hammond LP Soul Reggae & wanted to recommend it, its bloody fantastic.........................even the couple of tracks that are Reggae on there are very good. Which all lead me to thinking whether there are any other Reggae Artists who have recorded straight up soul tracks, no Reggae rythms just proper soul..................Im not a big Reggae fan to be honest (sorry) but I have over the years heard some cracking soul records by predominantly reggae artists, any suggestions other than the obvious (Pioneers, Glen Miller, the other Beres Hammond 'favour' et al).

Also, can anyone give me any history on the Soul Reggae LP by BH. Did it get reissued. My copy is on Tiger Lily, Im sure that I have read something before on SS about this LP being reissued or that it came out on two labels ??? but couldnt find it in a search, any help with this thankfully received.

Just in case you or Pete or anyone else hasn't noticed (like my mate Mike Atherton didn't, in his sleeve note to "Work Your Soul 2"), this is a version of an old Miracles number that was originally on the B-side of "Special Occasion"...

TONE
