DJ Melismo Soul Comp Vol. 1

Well, just me playing around with my USB-turntable and Audacity software.

Put together a comp featuring some of the tracks that have been gracing my turntables in my home during the last few days. Mainly modern soul from mid-70´s to mid-80´s. No rare stuff, but a couple of them a tad bit obscure or underplayed, all of them good ´uns IMHO

Another concept this time around, a few slowies, for example the first two tracks, but as a whole a lot more uptempo danceable music in this selection.

The oldest tune included:

COMPLAMENTS - Falling In Love (Dakar, 1977)

The newest one:

CHARLIE COATS - Tonight (Aviday, 1992)

Will compile a complete playlist later if you´re interested.

Any feedback welcome.

Tack f¶r en till!

So you've come to C in your collection now?

That's nice because then we know there will be more!

Thanks Bj¶rn for the feedback - much appreciated!

I´ve received a couple of PMs regarding the following track, so shortly I´ll be posting it here as a separate refosoul clip:

Carol Williams - Just Feel

More about the tune. It is on a 7", but don´t remember which one. I have it on the album "`Lectric Lady" (Salsoul). Whereas I have the original vinyl I am aware that it has also been reissued in CD format, so in that way the track itself should be fairly easy to get hold of. The CD also features bonus cuts in the form of extended 12" versions of some of the uptempo songs.

BTW, when it comes to "Just Feel" there´s a misprint on the original vinyl LP. Different info given on the sleeve and on the actual record label as to the title of that song.

A new Soul Comp (#3) coming soon!
