Various Artists - Philadelphia Soul Rarities - Produced By Weldon A McDougal III 1965-2008 (2008) Universal Love - Rare Soul (FLAC 529MB)

I hunted this out after a request for it and TBH i expected a lot more from the vaults of Weldon A McDougal III anticipating some uptempo Harthon cuts from that legendary label. There are some good cuts on it but not what i was expecting. Strange that the artists are not listed on the back cover and very little info at all. All tracks bar five were unissued. A rare version of the gwen Owens classic "Lies" is a plus. They cetainly did,nt push the boat out on the budget for this release, ive seen better presented boots.
