Black Explosion!



Finally this month I got around to remaking this mainly soul based Ronco compilation from my youth using digital sources. 

It is mainly a soul, funk and hint if reggae compilation issued in early 1974 with tracks from the late 1960's and 70's including Soulville by Aretha Franklin before she signed to Atlantic in 1968.

I originally owned this on eight track tape but got the record during a period I was without a tape player for it.




It originally run for 62 minutes which with 24 tracks on it meant apart from sounding somewhat thin each track had to be edited down quite drastically to get it all to fit!
My new version isn't as I just matched the average levels between each song up nicely and comes to about 79 minutes in total.
