VA - Solid Gold Soul Collection [1990 - 2001] (33 x CD's)

SOLID GOLD SOUL

VA - Solid Gold Soul Collection [1990 - 2001] (33 x CD's)

Essentially, the Time-Life Albums, Solid Gold Soul series was a reissue of the earlier Rhythm & Blues series with much more colorful artwork. Although there were CD's in each series that were not in the other, a vast majority of the CD's in Solid Gold Soul were exact reissues of the earlier Rhythm & Blues series.  The Rhythm and Blues series was a late 1980's-early 1990's subscription offering that concentrated on music from the R&B or soul charts. The series was successful, and eventually reached 24 volumes plus a budget 2xCD compilation, covering the early 1950's to the mid-1970's.

Around 1996 the Solid Gold Soul series, with completely different artwork, even though the CD's inside were trackwise and sonically identical to the corresponding volume in the earlier Rhythm and Blues series was issued. The new series used the R838- prefix instead of the old RHD- prefix. The Solid Gold Soul series did not include all the volumes in the Rhythm and Blues series, and later issued new volumes that weren't included with the older series, eventually reaching 31 volumes plus a budget box set and a special edition CD. In the late 1990's, Time-Life was selling both series side by side.

This collection is presented in 3 parts.

  • TIME LIFE's SOLID GOLD SOUL 50's+60's
  • TIME LIFE's SOLID GOLD SOUL 70's
  • TIME LIFE's SOLID GOLD SOUL 80's & Other

Enjoy!
