Editorial Review:
This is the first-ever soul collection in Eric's famous oldies series. "Sweet Soul Sounds" includes such classics as Clarence Carter's cheating epic, "Slip Away," and Archie Bell's dance ultimatum, "There's Gonna Be A Showdown." But the great joys of this collection are the hard-to-find gems previously unavailable to most collectors - songs like "(I Wanna) Testify," featuring a pre-P-Funk George Clinton, and two soul classics making their CD debut: Denise LaSalle's "Trapped By A Thing Called Love" is one of the last great Old School soul songs, recorded in 1971 as soul music was morphing into funk and disco; it appears here on a U.S. CD for the first time ever. And, Little Sister, a female trio featuring Sly Stone's younger sibling, is represented by two cuts, one of which - "You're the One (Parts 1 & 2 )" - has never been available on any CD anywhere!
"Sweet Soul Sounds" includes 20 HITS (16 of them were Top Thirty Pop and 17 made Top Ten R&B). All tracks have been digitally mastered to the exacting standards of Eric Records - in true stereo wherever possible. CD includes an 8-page booklet with detailed liner notes on each song written by renowned soul authority, Randy Poe.

Hard to Find 45's on CD: Sweet Soul Sounds has great soul music that is great even though it has been unfairly overlooked with the passage of time. The quality of the sound is excellent and I love that artwork, too!
Barbara Pennington opens up the album with a fantastic hit, "Twenty Four Hours A Day." I love it! This has that classic early soul flavor mixed with a great beat that really gets you moving on that dance floor! Barbara Pennington really delves into this song to make it her ... Read More

Rating: - Awesome Soul Collection!!
It so great to see such rare soul gems on CD like "Trapped By A Thing Called Love" and the rare long version of "You're The One". Another winner from the folks at ERIC!!....Keep up the good work!!
Now all we need is more hard-to-find soul classics on CD like "Michael" by The C.O.D.'s, "So Much Love" by Faith, Hope & Charity and the long, unedited version of "Maybe" by The Three Degrees (which all seem to be completely MIA on CD) and we'll be all set!!......Sweet Soul Sounds, Volume ...

Rating:  - A mediocre collection
In my opinion very few of theses songs by these artists ever became popular because they simply did not have any quality. There are so many cd producers suppossedly performing miracles these days because they are offering rarely heard material by various artists and 70% of it is pure junk. This cd I would say falls into the area between questionable and junk.
