VA - Soul Cargo, The Early Years Of Groove & Popcorn [1994 -1997] (10 x CD's)

Popcorn (sometimes Belgian Popcorn or oldies popcorn) is a style of music and dancing first established in Belgium in the 1970's and 1980's. The style includes a wide variety of mostly American and British recordings of R&B and soul made between the late 1950's and mid 1960's, often relatively obscure, and characterized by a slow or medium, rather than fast, tempo. The style has been described by musician and writer Bob Stanley as "possibly the last truly underground music scene in Europe."

This multi-volume Soul Cargo series gives us underground and rare tracks from the seemingly endless vaults of Popcorn and Groove records from the mid 60's in Detroit. With the exception of a handful of tracks most of the cuts will be unfamiliar to all but the most avid soul collector, a situation which speaks volumes about the myopia of oldies radio playlists but says nothing about the consistently high quality of the music here. Many singles deserve consideration as lost classics. The sheer volume of obscure soul singles here is astounding, and better still, is matched by the music's consistency and quality.

Although the complete absence of liner notes prevents Soul Cargo from offering a truly definitive portrait of the era, the series is nevertheless a goldmine for collectors. If you've exhausted the riches Motown and Stax have to offer, rarities like these are the next place to go. (Amazon)
