Lou Beatty's Detroit Soul: Thirty Rare Gems/ Var - Lou Beatty's Detroit Soul: Thirty Rare Gems From The Vauls Of La BeatRecords

A mammoth offering of 30 tracks from this 60's Detroit label, featuring 5 previously unreleased masters. Living in the shadows of Motown, this collection of lesser-known names proves the quality of Motor City during that era. Several of the Northern soul dance tracks here are top dollar items on original crackly 45s, but all tracks show strong vocals and good production. One that has been in the schedule a long time and well-overdue recognition of a label respected by all fans of Detroit soul.
