In the early '90s, at the heart of the Rare Groove scene a multitude of off-shoot genres surfaced into the soul fraternity, one of those being coined by the ever eager Japanese enthusiast, this term was 'Free Soul'.
Free Soul was a laid back groove with a folk/funk/soul feel that opened up a million and one opportunities when spinning through those lame arse '70s white rock LPs that languished at the bottom of the 'never played' pile. Within those dusty grooves lay awaiting 'that' hidden gem amongst the other 9 or 10 pieces of dross that made up the confused idea of an album..... like that proverbial diamond in the rust.
Fast forward 20 or so years and this is my interpretation of the Free Soul genre, some well known tracks alongside some ultra rare '45 only spins that outside of this compilation are rarely/if ever heard.
