Ben Aiken And Friends - Philly Golden Classics (1994 + Booklet) Collectables - Rare Soul (FLAC)

Ben Aiken came from Philadelphia. Aiken recorded a string of 45s for labels like Squire, Roulette (he had his biggest success with his 1965 Roulette 45 ‘Stay Together Young Lovers’), Loma and Philly Groove between 1965 and 1972.Sadly he never had the success he so richly deserved.Very popular on the northern Soul Scene. The other artists recorded these tracks on the Philly Groove label. I remember Moxy posted a compilation on the old blog of his rare tracks, will dig that out and review on Monday to compiment this superb collection.
