British Soul Power (3cd)
'SOUL MINING IN THE 6T'S'- 3 CDs of solid soul dynamite! Harking back to the heyday of soul and R&B, 'British Soul Power' celebrates the impact of those treasured genres on the British music scene at the time of its height in the 1960s. When black American music entered the mainstream through an early modernist mindset, its impact would be felt wider through radio and TV and become not just an influence on white musicians and singers in the UK, but an obsession. Latterly reclaimed by ardent fans as 'Northern Soul,' a handful of distinctly British interpretations would ultimately find their glory on the dancefloors a decade later. 'British Soul Power' is a fascinating insight into the homegrown acts who forged their sound in the Flamingo all-nighters and helped shape the mod phenomenon while transforming pop music and hitting the discotheques with a little vigour, a lot of verve and plenty of style. Rubble presents a groundbreaking set of explosive '60s soul dynamite in a 3 CD set that ignites the dancefloor. Welcome to the soundtrack of your weekend.
