SoulStrutter selections for Jun 2022 Wk 22 of the best non-original
songs i.e. cover versions, remixes, reissues, previously unreleased
and new songs using samples or new releases with a retro
feel. (In no particular order).
It goes from famine to feast. Most weeks I'm scratching around to
find a dozen and this week I contemplated having to split in two as
there are a shed load of reissues and a good few remixes. I could
have added even more reissues if I had included some tracks from the
forthcoming Kent compilation "Atlanta Soul Artistry 1967-1975" but instead of
adding them here I'll refer you to it's posting. Therefore, the top half of the playlist consists of reissues and the bottom half covers, samples and remixes.
There are a pair of reissues from Izipho Soul and another pair from
Soul4Real. Then we have a Numero group reissue and three tracks from
the reissue of Sunfire's solitary, self-titled, 1982 album.
Several recent tracks have had new remixes. A few have only been
out a matter of weeks and have already been remixed i.e. Sidibe, Anthony
David & Algebra Blessett and The Terri Green Project and the
other two were quite big hits last year from Melonyx and Tarrey
Torae.
A couple of others worth mentioning that can't be included in the playlist, as they are Badncamp only releases, include Gloria Gaynor "Philadelphia Re-Edit Sessions", an EP from Jack Tennis sampling/remixing some 70s classics, Gloria Scott covering Joe Smooth's "Promised Land" and DoctorSoul remixing Atlantic Starr's "When Love Calls".
Reissues: Ripple x2, Ray Alexander Technique x3, Sam Dees x2, Jimmy Lewis x2,
Sunfire x3, George McGregor x2,
Covers: John Coleman (Ray Charles), Output/Input (Creative Source/EWF also a reissue)
Samples: Frenchy (Donell Jones)
