V/A -Fashion Records: Style & Fashion 2LP (SOUL JAZZ)
In the early 1980s, Fashion Records captured the rise of the emerging British dancehall scene in its ascendency. The large roster of first generation British-born artists and MCs on the label – including General Levy, Papa Face, Smiley Culture, Bionic Rhona, Asher Senator, Laurel & Hardy, Top Cat and many more – often gave a unique and sometimes humorous British lyrical perspective to Fashion releases, discussing everyday subjects, from police harassment to road safety!

The Northern Soul Scene brings together 25 remarkable tracks, virtually all of them much sought after on original Decca/Deram 45. Save yourself £££s and buy this loving compiled 2LP set in heavyweight 180 gm vinyl. Contains 4-sided information sheet, replicating original album CD package notes. This collection of Northern Soul stompers includes cuts from Clyde McPhatter, Tom Jones, David Essex, the Amen Corner, Dave Berry and many others
V/A - Soul Of A Nation (SOUL JAZZ)
Featuring groundbreaking artists such as Gil Scott-Heron, Roy Ayers, Don Cherry, Oneness of Juju, Sarah Webster Fabio, Horace Tapscott, Phil Ranelin and many others, Soul of A Nation shows how political themes led to the rise of ‘conscious’ black music as new afro-centric styles combined the musical radicalism and spirituality of John Coltrane and radical avant-garde jazz music alongside the intense funk and soul of James Brown and Aretha Franklin and the urban poetry and proto-rap of the streets.
