VA - Visa Versa (A Butterboy Compilation) (4 x CDs)

MEN WHO SOUND LIKE WOMEN & WOMEN WHO SOUD LIKE MEN

VA - Visa Versa (A Butterboy Compilation) (4 x CDs)

There is a moment, rare but unmistakable, when the ear makes a decision before the mind can intervene. A voice enters, unannounced and unqualified, and the listener assigns it a body, a gender, a presence. Visa Versa is built from that fracture, the instant where perception reveals its own fragility.

Across popular music, certain voices have long unsettled expectation. The high, floating falsetto of artists like Frankie Valli or Smokey Robinson once slipped easily across radio waves, often unmoored from any visual context. Heard without introduction, these performances could be read as female, not because they imitate women, but because they inhabit tonal spaces culturally coded as feminine, lightness, delicacy, a certain emotional translucence. In contrast, the work of Phranc or Ferron strips the voice of ornament and gesture, settling into a low, speech-adjacent register that carries the weight and authority listeners often, perhaps unconsciously, assign to male voices.

What emerges is not mimicry, but erasure. The most convincing moments in this compilation do not exaggerate gender traits, they remove them. A flattened vibrato, a narrowed melodic range, a phrasing that leans closer to speaking than singing, these elements displace the usual cues the brain relies on. In tracks by Big Mama Thornton or Tanita Tikaram, the effect is immediate. The voice does not ask to be interpreted; it is simply heard, and misheard, in equal measure.

Visa Versa does not present this as novelty. Instead, it invites a more attentive kind of listening, one that acknowledges how much of what we hear is shaped by expectation rather than sound itself. The compilation moves between poles, male voices that drift into feminine space, female voices that anchor themselves in masculine ground, but the real subject lies between them. It is the instability of the boundary, the ease with which it dissolves, and the quiet revelation that follows.

Sequenced as a whole, the collection becomes less about inversion and more about continuity. Voices echo across tracks, not in identity but in texture, in phrasing, in the subtle ways they refuse categorisation. Visa Versa suggests that gender in music is not a fixed property of the voice, but a perception constructed in real time, by the listener, and just as easily undone.

In that undoing, the compilation finds its purpose. It does not correct the listener, nor does it expose a trick. It simply allows the voice to exist in a space where expectation falters, and where, for a moment, sound is heard before it is understood. (B)

VA - CampPark Records, On The Northern Side Vol. 1-3 [2002] (3 x CDs)

SOUL

VA - CampPark Records, On The Northern Side Vol. 1-3 [2002] (3 x CDs)

When I bring these three volumes together, I hear a world that sits slightly outside the usual northern soul story. On The Northern Side is CampPark Records looking past the dancefloor anthems and into the corners where the scene’s real character lived. These compilations feel like a private stash opened up for anyone willing to listen closely. They carry the warmth of small studios, regional labels, and singers who poured everything into a single take, hoping the right DJ might one day flip their record over and give it life.

Across all three discs, the mood is steady and sincere. CampPark leans into the emotional heart of northern soul rather than the high‑octane stompers. Mid‑tempo grooves, deep‑soul ballads, and overlooked R&B sides form the backbone of the series. The selections feel hand‑picked for the way they move, the way they hold a story, the way a voice cracks at the right moment. Nothing here is chosen for flash. Everything is chosen for feeling.

Vol. 1 sets the tone with earthy arrangements and voices that sound lived‑in. Vol. 2 widens the palette with more polished productions, small‑label gems, and songs that carry a quiet ache beneath their rhythm. Vol. 3 ties the series together with a mix of uplift and melancholy, the kind of tracks that would have filled late‑night sets in clubs where dancers stayed until the lights came up.

On The Northern Side becomes a portrait of the scene’s deeper soul. CampPark Records gives these songs room to breathe, letting the listener hear the tenderness, the grit, and the longing that made northern soul more than a genre. It was a feeling, and these three volumes capture that feeling with care. (B)

COVERS vs ORIGINALS

VA - Wake Me Up, First the Original Next The Cover 50's - 90's (A Butterboy Compilation) (10 x CDs)

In popular music, a cover version, cover song, revival, remake or simply cover, is a new performance or recording by someone other than the original artist or composer of a previously recorded, commercially released song.

Before the onset of rock 'n' roll in the 1950s, songs were published and several records of a song might be brought out by singers of the day, each giving it their individual treatment. Cover versions could also be released as an effort to revive the song's popularity among younger generations of listeners after the popularity of the original version has long since declined over the years.

On occasion, a cover can become more popular than the original, such as Elvis Presley's version of Carl Perkins' original "Blue Suede Shoes", Santana's 1970 version of Peter Green's and Fleetwood Mac's 1968 "Black Magic Woman", Jimi Hendrix's version of Bob Dylan's "All Along the Watchtower". The Hendrix recording, released six months after Dylan's original, became a Top 10 single in the UK in 1968 (US number 20) and was ranked 48th in Rolling Stone magazine's 500 Greatest Songs of All Time. Another famous example is the Beatles' cover of "Twist and Shout", originally by the Top Notes, and their cover of the song, "Til There Was You", by Meredith Willson, among many others. (Wikipedia)

Here I present compilations of Cover Songs from the 50's, 60's, 70's, 80's, and 90's. As an introduction to the covers, I have included the ORIGINAL versions of the songs which can be found on the first disc of each set. The COVERS can be found on the 2nd disc of each set. (B)
