Spring Records and its Event and Posse offshoots were big NYC soul labels from the late 60s to early 80s. Here we demonstrate their accomplished and varied soul sides.
The compilation contains 24 high-quality soul tracks from artists including Philip Mitchell, Millie Jackson, Winfield Parker and Garland Green.
The lesser-known artists like Act One, the Determinations, Ray Godfrey and Ronnie Walker provide some great individual soul sounds.
There are 60s style dancers from Prince Harold, Vernon Brown, Richard Barbary and Leroy Randolph. The Joneses, Daltrey Martin and the Mayberry Movement provide exquisite 70s ballads and there are a handful of up-tempo pre-disco tracks from that era too.
Very few of these songs have ever been out on CD before (a few came out on the long-deleted "Safe Soul" series) and some have not been released since their first pressing.
