VA [2022] - Masterpieces Of Modern Soul Vol 6 [Kent #CDKEND 512]


Kent have today released the latest volume of "Masterpieces Of Modern Soul Vol 6" on CD. In addition they have digitally released what they have titled "Selections From Masterpieces Of Modern Soul  Vol 6" which consists of just seven tracks.

Those seven tracks and another seven are available on Spotify so I've created a playlist of 14 tracks found. However, 12 of the 22 tracks on the CD are all previously unreleased in any form with another two new versions of released songs (i.e. Phillip Mitchell "I'll See You In Hell First (Alternate Take)" and Jackie Dee "Who (Long version)"). 

So, apart from 5 of the 12 previously unreleased tracks which are included in the 7 released digitally along with the alt. take of Phillip Mitchell and the final digital track is Second Re$surrection, there are 6 tracks that are not available anywhere so I've linked to the samples provided by Kent for them, another two are available only on YouTube (Janice and Margie Joseph).

NB It's more cost effective to buy the CD (£11.70) than the digital (£6.93) i.e. 53p per track v 99p per track!
