This review is from: Crème de la Crème - Philly Soul Classics and Rarities

This set brings together a couple of acknowledged classics and more than a few lesser known tracks, from the Philly Soul genre. So it's no surprise that you'll hear loads of mid tempo, string laden smooth sounds.

The opening track is therefore, untypical, since it's driven by a conga and the stings are hardly noticeable, but it's soon on to the familiar groove, with little to break it out - and that's the problem here, it's just too much of the same for listening in one go.

That said, there are some sublime tracks here, both the opening and closing tracks would be enough to make me buy the album if I didn't have them in my collection, and Bettye Swann is an under-rated songstress, while Major Harris' well known "Love Won't Let Me Wait" is a seduction classic

So, primarily one for the afficionados, with some classics that every Soul collection should have.
