Rare Soul: Shrine Records
A few months ago I came across The Northern Soul Of Shrine on iTunes and bought it after listening to a couple of samples. It was a real bargain at $9.99 for 44 songs. I always knew there must be many great 60′s soul catalogues out there (Motown’s Detroit area talent base couldn’t be that rare and isolated). Through the steady release of various soul collections over the years and recently through youtube and iTunes I’m discovering lot’s of great stuff. Kids! don’t make the same mistake I did - find this stuff while you’re still young. Here are some highlights for me from The Northern Soul Of Shrine: I Know About Her and Hey Boy by The DC Blossoms; If I Had (One Gold Piece) and Huh Baby by The Prophets; Do What I Want by The Cavaliers; and Take It From Me by Traci.
Here’s a youtube clip of my favourite find from the collection, Shirley Ewards’ Dream My Heart:
