Shrine - the Rarest Soul Label Vol.1

CD-Charts > Music > Northern Soul
by: Various Artists

Release Date July 27, 1998
When you are reading this review, I guess you are someone with a more than average interest in (classic) RnB/Soul music. Shrine was during its short lifetime (1964-66) not a very succesive label with no hits in the RnB charts. They did rather well in their own local area Washington DC, but that was all. That still does not mean that the music wasnot good enough, but marketing and distributing records is and was something completely different than making good music. The music on this record reminds me most of the more unpolished (early) Motown productions. Not so strange when you realise that one of the co-founders of Shrine was Barry Gordy's ex-wife Raynoma who had worked with Gordy in Motown's early days.

More Northern Soul Memories

CD-Charts > Music > Northern Soul
by: Various Artists

Release Date February 26, 2008
Intresting compilation of 2 CD's disc one concentrates on the classic sound of N Soul in the mid 60's and Wigan anthems, highlights include Barbara Acklin's Am I the same girl, The Sapphires- Gotta have your love and The Superb Yum Yum's Gonna be a big thing.

Disc Two moves on post 70's and Blackpool's Mecca sound including Jimmy James- Hey Girl, and a knock out track from the great men themselves, Holland Dozier Holland - If you don't want to be in my life.

Side one just shades it for me, and this is a better compilation than Volume one in my estimation.

All in all not bad and recommended to fill in gaps in your collection and for the Holland Dozier Holland track.

Sweetest Soul

Release Date November 07, 2005
Great CD but note: the track listing on Amazon is incorrect; there are 27 tracks not 28 and the missing gem, and I mean gem, is 'Just a Little Bit'. Shame really as I just bought it for this track in particular.
