My selection of this week's best cover versions, remixes, reissues,
previously unreleased and new songs using samples or new releases with
a retro feel (Oct 2021 Wk 41). (In no particular order apart from tempo).
Starting with the reissues there are two tracks from the excellent Sweet Inspirations 66 track compilation, one also being a cover of Gladys Knight & The Pips Motown/Northern Soul track. A couple from Ira Raibon also released on vinyl.
One in the previously unreleased category, as it seems to have been recorded around 2012, and certainly a sampler is a track from Em-Cee which uses A Taste Of Honey's "Rescue Me". Masters At Work's Louie Vega samples Charles Johnson's 1980 modern soul classic "Never Had A Love so Good"
Covers from The Whispers releasing their version of Al Johnson's "It's Been Too Long" and The Journal on Barry White's 1977 hit.
Two retro sweet soul tunes from Ron Crowder & The Rolas also released on vinyl by Mike Noriega. Also in the retro category is, for me, the standout track on the new D. Saunders album which has surely got Northern soul appeal. The final track making up the dozen is a 70s retro Philly style instrumental by Poppy Sound.
