Various Artists - Backbeats - Crate Diggin' Fever: The Cult of Rarity (2010 + Booklet) Backbeats 018 - Rare Soul (FLAC 778MB)

As the title suggests some rare cuys from an abundance of labels,again long deleted from stock & out of business but their albums live on! Compiled by Dean Rudland (of the Acid Jazz and Ace labels), this release features deep cuts from labels like Brunswick, Hot Wax/Invictus, Contempo, Hi, and Philadelphia International. iT`s aimed at soul fans who already own the classic hits and aren't into paying collector's prices for obscurities (like i am). Some of the inclusions such as Jean Carn's "Don't Let It Go to Your Head," Laura Lee's "Crumbs Off the Table," and the Average White Band's cover of the Isley Brothers' "Work to Do" aren't all that rare, but there are plenty of deep gems, a great mash up of Northen,Soul,Funk & disco, for me the girls just edge it for soul power...all killer no filler!
