v/a- BEAUTY IS EMBARRASSING: AMERICAN SOUL MUSIC 1959-1982 2LP

* PREORDER * expected to arrive late Oct / early Nov

Double LP with extensive 20 page 12"x12" booklet with liner notes and photos.

Gold foil cover, records housed in classy black sleeves.

Highest recommendation.

The 10th (and final) in the Cairo Records soul compilation series (after "The Love You Save", "All This Goes Too", "The Truth Is A Lie", "Freedom For The Stallion", "The World Is A Cafeteria", "Do You Believe It", "Written On The Wall", "The River's Invitation" and "This Is The Place").

Since reopening in Brunswick East we've NEVER had any of the American Soul Music volumes and CANNOT WAIT to introduce the surrounding residents to the wonders of this series! Those of you with any volume are aware of the high standard each track resonates.

Stunning compilation of great soul songs, following a similar logic as Harry Smith’s Anthology Of American Folk Music - only where Smith covered folk, blues, gospel and old timey, this series covers just American soul music recorded between the late '50s through to the early '70s.

Every volume has been a revelation and are not to be missed. Seriously.
