Various - Smooth Sailing: A Rare Soul Adventure

SOUL HQ presents Smooth Sailing: A Rare Soul Adventure. Curated and compiled by the same team behind the 2022 No.1 Bestseller Soul On The Real Side.

Welcome aboard USS Soul! Laden with a precious rare soul cargo anthologized from the dust of forgotten 45s and LPs. And it's "Smooth Sailing" all the way with the seldom heard, falsetto rendering of the Temptations 1971 Detroit classic that bears the album title and represents the aspiration to blend the obscure with American black music royalty. Celebrate the overlooked Freddy Briggs (aka Coldwater Stone), the former Chicago Gangsters (the Harmonics), the former Metros (Liberation), the unknown Mary Mundy, and the rarest of the rare offering by Chuck Ray. The record also showcases largely ignored recordings by the likes of Prince, chart-topping Al Wilson, Grammy Award winner Al Jarreau, America's TV cop Christie Love aka Teresa Graves, and multi-chart-busters the Ohio Players. An exclusive haul of seventies soul for the collector, enthusiast and lover of uptempo, feel-good grooves.

Heavyweight vinyl produced by Charly Records in 2023.
