With its original iconic Ian Clark sleeve design, this best-selling Kent LP from 1983 [[KENT 006) makes the leap to CD with 12 additional tracks from the same big name labels – Capitol, Liberty, Imperial, Veep, UA, Minit and Sue.

The 26 tracks are all original recordings, most not available on other Kent CDs and includes a previously unreleased Patrice Holloway dancer from her ‘Stolen Hours’ sessions.

The set features classic Northern Soul numbers from June Jackson, Patrice Holloway, Bobby Sheen, Little Anthony and the Magnificent Men’s LP-only Chicago soul track ‘Nobody Treats Me The Way You Do’.

Cannot wait for this one!

It's funny how this LP is finally getting a CD release after well over 30 years, while Ace is putting out a new Chuck Jackson "Best of the Wand Years" LP without a concurrent CD release. Maybe in 30 years, eh?

Looks like Ace/Kent are having to recycle stuff, the well must be fairly dry by now.
But this CD , with the extra tracks, is good value....fondly remember getting the early LPs.
Would love an expanded "Soul class of 66".

I have been thinking that for years but they continue to unearth the stuff. Good for them. I hope they eventually tackle some of the rare and unreleased stuff from the 70's.
