Various Artists - 70's Soul Mix (50 Classic Grooves To Feed Your Soul/2CD Set) (CD 2003)

I've bought all three of these sets so far and they are great to drive to (no two second gaps inbetween the tracks). This is rooted in the 70's but there is quite a bit of funk thrown in for good measure. All three of these sets are not mixed (as in a beat mix)they are edited at the optimum point of fade out but the contrast between the tracks is what makes these cds's work for me at least. The sixties soul mix 1 is basically most of the tracks you've heard over and over again, not a bad thing but no suprises. Sixties soul mix 2 is the pick of the bunch for me, check out marlene shaws "lets wade in the water", killer cut. So in short if ya just want a great drive time set on your journey this should keep you alert enough (but go for Sixties Soul Mix 2 its hardly expensive and you'll find a lot of underplayed goodies on it, great value for money and self-indulgence).
PS Edwin Starr - 25 miles is on both Soul Mix 1 and Soul Mix 2 ......oooppppps!
