Working Man"s Soul
Price 20.80 USD
Digitally remastered collection. Working Man"s Soul celebrates the forgotten world of British cabaret performers from the 1960s and 1970s and selects the cream of the cuts only previously available on privately pressed records. Manufactured by the artists themselves in miniscule quantities, these records were sold at live performances at Social Clubs, Miners" Welfare Clubs and Working Man"s Clubs across the UK. Some of the artists went on to become household names; some went back to the day job; others made a successful and lucrative, albeit understated, career of playing three sets a night, six nights a week. Working Man"s Soul covers everything from Soul, Funk and Jazz to Rock and Easy Listening; the common theme is of music recorded and performed to celebrate the good times and the end of the working week. With a track listing including superb covers of classics like "Funky Nassau", "Watermelon Man", "Work Song", "Time Is Tight" and "Memphis Underground", this is one killer compilation that should be on any music fan"s wish list. 18 tracks. Licorice Soul.
