VA [2020] - Sweet Soul 3 - Rare and Hard To Find Soul 45s [LSRA] (Full Album)

A new compilation was released 15 Dec 2020 which includes 15 rare soul recordings - mainly sweet soul harmony Lowrider tunes.  

The Amazon listing is pretty useless as it doesn't list the artist names for 8 of the 15 tracks, so I've listed them all here with links to the original 45s on Discogs with approx current values for the originals. 

I've not been able to find it on CD or vinyl, so assume that it must be digital only (at present), although Vols. 1 & 2 were/are avilable on CD?

I've calulated that this CD contains approx £7,000 worth of 45s even 'IF' you could find the originals to buy! Values are based on the highest sale price on Discogs - but these are not always a reliable guide.

14 - Equasions [197?] - 01 - It's So Hard to Say So Long [Pac Sounds #5001]

£400-£450

This must be a pretty rare record as it's not listed in the usual places but I found a few (10) listed on Popsike. It's on San Antonio, TX label Pac Sounds and the prices are all over the place, probably owing to condition, but the highest two sold for between $510-$566.  It was included on Soulful Thangs Vol. 7 compilation billed as Equasions (which is the correct spelling of the group's name as it appears on the Pac Sounds 45 even though on the compilation it is Equations). It  was reissued on Killer Funk 010 in 2010 as a B side retitled as The Equations - Don't Add, Just Subtract (Correct Answer Edit).  It was also released by Vee Gees on Jump Off in 1973 written by Wayman ('Slack') Johnson & Leroy Williams

15 - Jhamels [1965] - 01 - I've Cried [Igloo (US) #219]
