VA - Eccentric Soul [ALL] (33 Track lists)


ECCENTRIC SOUL

VA - Eccentric Soul [2004-2020] (33 Track lists)

The Numero Group is an archival record label that creates compilations of previously released music, reissues original albums, and creates album reconstructions from a variety of musical genres. The label, known as Numero, was founded in 2003 by Tom Lunt, Rob Sevier, and Ken Shipley (a former A&R manager for the equally eclectic Rykodisc label). The label's focus since its 2003 founding has been to research and preserve obscure recorded material and ephemera by artists and entrepreneurs who found little commercial success upon their material's initial release.  In 2013, Numero became part of a partnership with Secretly Label Group. (Wikipedia)

The Numero Group is well known and much lauded for their meticulous compilations of independent Soul record labels known as the Eccentric Soul series. A mind-blowing, head-spinning set of compilations of rare soul tracks, plucked from obscurity (and maybe a trash bin or two).

Presented here are all the Eccentric Soul series I have (to-date) from The Numero Group, 631 tracks over 33 track lists. This is a very large post that should not be missed. There's a tune here for every discerning soul taste, but they work even better as a whole, making these releases as essential as it is eccentric. Thank you Eccentric Soul for compiling these songs for all the world to enjoy!

    1. Hi Frazz,
      I do this with my feet up and a drink in my hand, a volume controller in the other and a smile on my face.
      This is a truly great collection of soul music and everyone should here it. Yes, there is around 40hrs
      of music, but that's not a deterrent for me. When its beautiful, new, energetic and amazing then I just have to listen to it in one listen... (as best I can)

      Some more big posts to come.

      Cheers.

    1. Hi dc_animal,
      Trust you are well.
      This set of CD's is impressive and a great listening experience.
      I had one missing and it was supplied by USMAN47 (above in the comments).
      Sometimes in the bigger sets I sometimes have a track missing because of the length of the filename not being accepted. That frustrates me. But on this occasion the Saru disc was skipping like traditional greek dancing music. Had to be redone.
      Glad you now have them all.
