Scottish soul haven Athens Of The North offers a top - notch compilation of the year. It features reggae and lovers rock artists putting their spin on the soul and funk hits of the era. Unlike many common cover records, this set zeroes in on the rarest (especially in the States) and sweetest tunes. These are R&B songs given a unique touch with the UK lovers rock sound, an electronic and bass - heavy reggae style with a distinct British R&B singing flair. It's all killer, no filler! Don't miss Simplicity's take on the Isleys' 'For The Love Of You'. Other great tracks include Michael Prophet's cover of Starvue's 'Body Fusion', Michael Gordon's 'What You Won't Do For Love', Christine Lewin's 'Juicy Fruit', and Peter Hunningdale's version of Leon Ware's 'Rocking You Eternally'. The album comes in a full - color gatefold sleeve with reproductions of the original 12” artwork and liner notes. Highly recommended! It's a black double vinyl pressing from the Athens Of The North music label in 2020. Also available: For The Love Of You Vol.2.1 - Vinyl 2LP.
Using this vinyl is easy. Just place it on your record player's turntable and gently drop the needle on the start of the groove. Make sure your record player is clean and in good working condition. When handling the vinyl, hold it by the edges to avoid getting fingerprints on the playing surface, as this can affect the sound quality. After each use, put the vinyl back in its full - color gatefold sleeve to protect it from dust and scratches. Store it vertically in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. If you notice any dust on the vinyl, use a record cleaning brush to gently remove it before playing. This will help keep the music sounding great for a long time.
