VA [2021] - Soul On The Real Side #12 [Outta Sight #OSCD062]


Outta Sight release a twenty track (CD only) modern soul compilation "Soul On The Real Side #12" tomorrow (19 Aug 2021).  They have raided the vaults of mainly Mainstream (3) and Frank Fioravanti's Sound Gems (6) choosing the best mid 70s cuts. 

Most tracks will be well known to modern soul connoisseurs, with the hardest to get hold of probably Daybreak as it has two 'in-demand' sides with "Everything Man" (also recorded by Main Ingredient) on the flip.

All are from 70s except Timeless Legend from 1980 and The Falcons which is a previously unreleased 60s side first issued in 1998 in UK on Joe Boy.


Track List (with links to YouTube video on title and Discogs on Cat. No.). I've also provided a approx. guide price based on median/high Discogs sales (which isn't always very reliable but gives a rough guide).
