Various Artists - Soul On Fire - The Detroit Soul Story 1957 - 1977 (2017) Cherry Red - Triple CD (86 Tracks) + Fantastic 36 Page Booklet (FLAC) - Rare R&B/Soul

Perhaps this has to be one of the greatest compilations of a Detroit record label and its owner ever, all about Lu-Pine records and the labels ran by Robert West. Alabama born Robert West who kicked off his many labels in 1957 with Silhouette records releasing the Falcons  "Sent Up"..Eddie Floyd was his nephew and prominent in the group that he managed. But read the booklet its all in there and a fantastic read if you want to know about the Detroit record scene back then. This is the Detroit sound from its humble beginnings of the late 50,s to the searing soul of the  mid 70,s...All the taster have been played on the Northern Scene here in the UK over the last 58 years...Incredible records on an incredible scene......SO LETS GO AND GET THIS PARTY STARTED!...YESSSS!
