Hi , can anyone recommend any Rare Groove CDs for a Novice .Ta Paul

What sort of stuff Paul?

 

60's, 70's?

Ian's Backbeat series are very good value - with a range of styles from crossover, sixties, modern etc.

always get the Mastercuts volumes, great start.. and 'The 'Rare Grooves for the Dance floor' series has some nice stuff on it, they look very thrown together but have some interesting selections...

 

also there was a great one in the 8ts/9ts called 'Shake and Finger pop' from the club night I guess, that was really good... also RARE - A Rare Collection of Grooves was a brill series... and the Funk Soul Brother series was also another must have...

Late 60/70's iam guessing Peter, stuff that got played in the mid 80s mostly in London clubs?? Thanks Paul

Some of Keb Darge's compilations are excellent too - although some of them are quite hard to locate.

It's a great comp but to be fair it's a available for £7 on Discogs.   

As well as all the Mastercuts series and others mentioned, I remember buying these two from Streetsounds at the same time, circa '88. https://www.streetsounds.co/Rare_Groove.htm

 

Urban Records put out some good comps of Polydoor releases at the time too "Urban Classcs" 1-3, some great stuff on these and you can pick up for couple quid each if you look around.  

Thanks Chaps   .Paul ... I've just dipped my toes in buying vinyl - message to the soul sisters - VIcki Anderson -King wdj

I think the RCA 'Rare' series of albums was far and away the best sets of rare groove compilations. If you can find the Midnight Music bootleg comps, they are also just as good if not better. (IMO)
