I gave this one hundreds of plays back in the day. I think if you really like 75% of a comp. (like enough to get the vinyl) you are doing well. I can't  think of any compilation where every single track does it for me.

 

 

 

Lost Soul Oldies vol.6

1. Pretty Little School Girl/Emory & Dynamics 
2. Give It A Chance To Grow/Toppiks 
3. Yes I Do/Bleu Lights 
4. Look Up, Look Down/Soft Touch 
5. All Roads Lead To Heartbreak/Symphonics 
6. I Can't Wait/Dontells 
7. You Stood Me Up/Specials 
8. Someone/Lovers 
9. Thinking About My Baby/Geminiles 
10. When Your Baby's Gone/Billy Butler & Infinity 
11. Where You Live/Flairs 
12. How Do You Say Goodbye/Heartbreakers 
13. Please Baby Please/Sensations 
14. A New World Beautiful/Donald Jenkins 
15. I Can't Tell A Lie/The Gas Light 
16. This Love/Joy Tones 
17. I Shed A Tear/Don Hart & James Shorter 
18. Sugar (Don't Take Away My Candy)/Jive 5 
19. Pick Your Self Up/E.G. Taylor & Sounds of Soul 
20. Surrender/Toppiks 
21. Love Has Gone Away/Combination Inc

 

The Dave Godin Deep Soul Treasures sets are very fine.

 

Kents Where Country meets Soul series is top notch.

 

The History of Soul series is well worth searching out.

 

And I've enjoyed the recent CD's from Kent featuring the songs of Phillip Mitchell and Sam Dees too.

 

But there has been a lot of very good compilations.

Familiar with some of those....not seen that CD before

The Godin CDs are excellent agreed

Funny, I was just thinking of posting the other day on just how good DJ Honky's free double CD was. I played it recently and it has to be one of the best compilations ever, and they were free, with free postage!

Full marks to him for that. I love the RCA ones and some of the Motown twofers have seen some great, relatively unknown tracks become available. The Vandellas ones were particularly good.

 

 

US Lowrider bootleg compilation. Quality one though

I can't choose between Rare, Collectible and Soulful vol 1 and Sock it to 'em Soul

Not big or clever but I thought the Pied Piper compilation was one of the best I've ever heard - I think there was only one track I didn't like!

There was a good one out recently, called The Odyssey... anyone here heard of it?
