wow, this looks like a great release.
Interesting release. The only track that made me raise an eyebrow was The Look of Love by GK&TP. Not sure I would describe that particular track as Psychedlic Soul.
Correcta' Mundo! IMO, I'd say Easy listening/Jazz.Quote:

that group their biggest successes....
Looks good but it's not really one for me. Motown made some good compilations such as the two "Psychedelic Soul" rekeases and the Marvin Gaye "Norman Whitfield Sessions"

Ooh, looks like a great set! But, as has been said, half the tracks on it aren’t really psychedelic soul. Still, it does well to illustrate the breadth, creativity and success of Norman's work!!! :D
Obviously marketing is the chief dictate for the title of this compilation, not accuracy. A shame in a way. Norman Whitfield could sure produce "psychedelic soul" but he could also turn out a great straight up ballad.
Norman Whitfield could produce some psychedelic soul! Though Frank Wilson, HDH, and Charles Stepney weren’t slouches either in that department.
