2025 Charity Shop Purchases # 40 - Various Artists - Dave Godin's Deep Soul Treasures - Taken From The Vaults Volume 1
When it comes to Soul Compilations few, if any, are as good as Dave Godin's Deep Soul Treasures - Taken From the Vaults Volumes 1 - 5
I had burns of volumes 1-3, volume 4 on CD and a download of volume 5 until I pitched up in Sue Ryder in Newton Stewart, For £1.25 a pop I was able to upgrade all those I didn't have to CD. Talk about a find!
Volume one sets the tone. I refer you to the bumph and tracklist from Ace Records which includes some blurb by Dave Godin.
On the subject of Mr Godin Volume 1 had a typewritten note from the man himself tucked in with the sleeve notes. Talk about a find x 10!. I've included a copy below. One of the highlights of my Blogging career!
Any of the 25 songs could have been included today such is their quality. Three have featured before with the three below taken pretty much at random.
The Knight Brothers - I'm Never Gonna Live It Down
Irma Thomas - Anyone Who Knows What Love Is (Will Understand)
