[Quote]Here is the first volume in a new series devoted the R&B sounds that are burning up dance floors across the UK and Europe. In America too these kinds of sounds are becoming more and more popular with specialist nights springing up all over the globe.

25 remastered selections present some of the biggest names in R&B including: Ruth Brown, Little Stevie Wonder, Wilson Pickett plus many of the most hopelessly obscure. What they all have in common is the ability to make you shake your hips and stomp your feet to a beat that in many instances was getting us all prepared for the eventual arrival of what we still call soul music in the mid-sixties.
