VA - Across The Board: 21 Super Rare Super Quality Soul 45s from the 60's and 70's (1998)

One of the greatest sets we've seen from Goldmine in a long time – an excellent collection that really spans a variety of different soul styles, and which more than lives up to its "across the board" title! The mode here moves way past the standard Northern Soul of other Goldmine sets – into a realm that also includes sweet soul, modern soul, and mellow soul – with many great numbers from the 70s that have a warm, full approach to their sound. There's also a fair bit of obscure Chicago soul tunes on the set – making it especially appealing to our ears – and titles include "Ain't Going Back To That" by Carl Stewart, "I'll Be Your Champion" by Tony Hestor, "I Need Your Lovin" by Gene Redding, "The Sweetest Thing" by Channel 3, "Love Stormy Weather" by Melvin Brown & James Matthews, "I Thought You Were Mine" by Natural Four, "These Memories" by Almeta Lattimore, "Let Me Come Back" by Walter Jackson, "Suddenly" by Tony Drake, and "Funny Money" by Wilson Love.
