I am not suggesting you starve yourself for good music,but for less than your
local transfat food depot charges for a family variety bucket of McChavcrispy
nibbles,you can get hold of sixty golden nuggets from the R&B chart
R&B Spotlight '59of 1959 that will sustain you far longer with no risk of being labelled a lardshanks.The market has flooded with cheap
compilations from rubbish outfits.Read the small print on some of these so called
'soul classics'(licensed from Zitmark Corp.)re-recorded 'in the interests of
quality'and you can relive motown magic as interpreted by that geezer from the
fake Boney M that toured East Grinstead in 1992.Er,no thanks,only Mr.Whitevan
listens to that kind of thing when he's jetwashing his Lexus.If you want real
original fifties R&B hits you must have this double CD and it's 1958 twin.Extra
fries?the company marketing these (Future Noise Music)have also put out two
'Soul Breakout'compilations for the same years,58 and 59,and again these are
full of top quality period tracks you must own if your heart craves this music.
