It states on the back of the CD "Deep Soul sides of significance
selected by Dave Godin, including some he wanted from
day one - available at last".
Six of the tracks on this CD are already available on other Ace
CD's or LP's. Dave Godin passed away in 2004 before he was able
to finish the next CD in the series. The first 4 tracks are outstanding. Carolyn Sullivan
track "Dead" is not deep soul IMO! Other gems are by
The Emotions, George Jackson, Judy White, Zilla Mayes
and Z.Z.Hill. If you're new to deep soul music selected by Dave
Godin you will enjoy this CD. If you are a life
long fan you will be disappointed. The fact that the sleeve notes are not by
Dave Godin but by guest writers and using snippets from his writings from
Blues and Soul magazine does not impress me. This should have
been marketed as a
Tribute to Dave Godin's Deep Soul Treasures. Sadly, it does not compare to the other four
CD's in the series. Booklet by Ady Croasdell with an
introduction by Jon Savage. Lovely picture of the girl
group The Chantels on the front cover. Issued on KENT CDKEND 485.
