Free Soul - 2011

And so it goes....... In the early '90s at the heart of the Rare Groove scene a load of off-shoot genres surfaced into the soul fraternity, one of those being coined by the ever eager Japanese enthusiast, this term was 'Free Soul', which was a laid back groove with a folk/funk soul feel that opened up a million and one opportunities when spinning through those lame ass '70s white rock LPs that languished at the bottom of the 'never played' pile, there was always 'that' hidden gem amongst the other 9 or 10 pieces of dross that lay within the waiting grooves, like that proverbial diamond in the rust..... Fast forward 20 so years and this is my interpretation of the Free Soul genre, some well known tracks alongside some ultra rare '45 only spins that outside of this compilation are rarely - if ever heard and known only by the chosen few.......a world of wonder awaits.

Love, Peace, The Universal
