.... but not particularly rare. Artists most Soul fans would probably already have in their collections. Though Kenny Carter, Timmy Willis (and others) were highlights for me back in the nineties. 

The 5 volumes would make an unbeatable 2 CD set, no?

 

 

What would be your Ace Deep Soul Compilation choices where they got it right both from the collector`s and the music`s perspective ..... ?

I would award some of these .... :

Not the sonic revelation I was hoping for, and no liner notes, and less bonus material than the "Message in a Box" set from 25 years ago.   That being said, the packaging is nice (full minl-lp's with gatefolds), no real problems with the sound, the missing live bonus material is not of much value (I never found their live material compelling compared to the studio recordings), and it cost me $22 shipped from Amazon UK for the six CD set.  If you have "Message in a Box", you probably don't need too bother with this.  If you don't, this is the way to go.

Thanks for the comments, felser. I might consider getting this box.

Leonard Cohen - Thanks for the Dance

leonard-cohen-thanks-for-the-dance.jpg

 

I only heard about this posthumous release today, so I am absorbing it in real time.  First impressions are that it is (not surprisingly) pretty similar to You Want It Darker.  I'd say that Adam Cohen (Leonard's son) has done a good job pulling these unfinished tracks together.  I'm a moderate (not huge) Cohen fan, and I can envision spinning this on a semi-regular basis.
