Format: CD, Compilation
Country: US
Released: 1994
Genre: R&B Funk, Soul
Style: P.Funk, Disco
A Fifth of Funk, a 1994 release in the George Clinton Family Series, is a compilation of previously unreleased P-Funk tracks from various bands within the collective. As part of a series designed to present "raw, uncut sweetness" from the P-funk musical stable, the album offers a mixed but generally well-regarded collection of vintage P-Funk material.
The tracks feature the signature P-Funk sound, with strong bass lines (Bootsy Collins), keyboard work (Bernie Worrell), and guitar riffs (Eddie Hazel), even if some material is considered second-rate compared to the collective's peak 70s output.
The "raw" nature of some recordings, often sourced from soundboards or various recording apparatus, is noted, though this adds to its appeal as authentic, unearthed material rather than a polished studio album.
The album is recommended as a good entry point for new listeners interested in the original P-Funk sound, as well as a valuable addition for long-time fans looking for deep cuts and historical context.
The album serves as the fifth and final volume in the original George Clinton Family Series collection, providing a comprehensive look into the vast and varied output of the Parliament-Funkadelic universe.
The album has an average user rating of 4.6 out of 5 stars on Discogs. While contemporary critical reviews from 1994 are scarce, user opinions highlight its value as a treasure trove for P-Funk enthusiasts, particularly for the inclusion of rare or previously unreleased material featuring core P-Funk musicians.

Genre: R&B Soul
Style: Sixties Soul
Bell's Cellar Of Soul Vol. 1 is a landmark soul and R&B compilation album released in the UK in 1968, known for introducing British audiences to lesser-known, high-quality American black music artists and sounds. Pioneered by Derek Everett and Trevor Churchill, the album was a crucial release for the UK soul scene.
The album was a pioneering effort to bring a wider range of black American music to Britain at a time when much of the music was considered too niche for 45rpm single releases. It features a mix of accessible and more "avant-garde" soul and rhythm & blues tracks, helping to establish the genre's audience in the UK.
It is now considered highly collectable and introduced UK fans to artists like Curly Moore, Mighty Sam, James Carr, Benny Spellman, Diamond Joe, and Betty Harris.
The original 1968 UK vinyl LP (Bell Records MBLL 102) contained 16 tracks. The tracklist includes songs by artists such as Mighty Sam, Betty Harris, James Carr, Diamond Joe, Gladys Knight And The Pips, Benny Spellman, and others.

Renowned for its "all killer no filler" curation, it is considered a crucial, energetic introduction to the genre, suitable for both serious collectors and new listeners.
Considered a "strongest comp" by enthusiasts, it brings together rare and famous tracks, featuring artists like Lonnie Liston Smith, Johnny Hammond, and John Klemmer.
While almost universally praised, some listeners have noted that Spyro Gyra's "Shaker Song" feels more like "chill Latin jazz" than pure jazz-funk, suggesting other artists like Roy Ayers might have been a better fit for the slot.
The Mastercuts series is noted for excellent, hot, and dynamic mastering. It serves as an ideal entry point for those exploring the genre. Often described as a "must-have" for DJs and fans, with tracks that defined the dancefloor scene of the era. It is highly regarded as one of the best in the Mastercuts series.

Dave Godin's Deep Soul Treasures Vol. 1 is an acclaimed compilation album that curates a selection of rare, emotionally intense "deep soul" ballads from the 1960s, a style of music characterized by its heart-wrenching themes of love, loss, and life.
The album, released in 1997 by Kent Records, was a "labour of love" for the compiler Dave Godin, a prominent figure in the British Northern Soul scene who coined the term "deep soul". The tracks are not typically well-known hits, but rather overlooked "treasures" that Godin believed possessed a profound emotional honesty and intensity. The music has been described as an "uncompromising style" which, like the blues, adheres to a strict code of ethics in its raw expression of feeling. Godin considered this music a form of "therapy," allowing listeners to confront difficult emotions through the artistic expression of the performers.
The album features 25 tracks from various artists, including Irma Thomas, Bessie Banks, and Eddie & Ernie. Some of these artists made their UK debut with this compilation.

Kent Records, the second volume of Dave Godin's Deep Soul Treasures is widely regarded by critics and collectors as a definitive masterpiece of the genre. Godin, who coined the term "Deep Soul," curated this 25-track collection to showcase "adult, tortured music" that focuses on raw emotional intensity rather than just tempo.
The "Deep" Definition: While often associated with slow ballads, this volume includes mid-tempo tracks like Eddie Giles' "Losin' Boy," which Godin argued was "deep" due to its visceral, "death-throe" vocal delivery.
Essential Tracks:
Bessie Banks – "Go Now": The original version of the Moody Blues hit, highlighted for its spontaneous, heartbroken performance.
Otis Redding – "Just One More Day": A stunning example of the legendary singer's emotive power.
Toussaint McCall – "Nothing Takes The Place Of You": A standout track noted for its "magnificent" and haunting quality.
Irma Thomas – "These Four Walls": Described as a highlight from the "peerless" Queen of New Orleans Soul.
Godin purposefully mixed famous names with obscure "left-field gems" to present soul as a high art form rather than a mere commercial product.
Critics frequently describe the album as "essential" and "without peer". The collection is praised not just for the music, but for Godin's lavish booklet notes, which provide "erudite and supremely informative" context for every artist and recording. On Discogs, it maintains a high average rating of approximately 4.6/5, reflecting its lasting status among soul enthusiasts.

Label: Atlantic – P-6175A
Format: Vinyl, LP, Compilation
Country: Japan
Released: 1974
Genre:R&B Soul
Style: Deep Soul, Southern Soul
The album Soul Deep Vol. 3 on Atlantic (P-6175A) isn't a well-known mainstream hit but a highly sought-after Deep Soul/Rare Groove compilation from the mid-70s, packed with obscure, soulful deep cuts that collectors love, known for its killer grooves and unearthed gems, though specific critical reviews from the era are scarce, with appreciation primarily coming from dedicated soul fans discovering it on reissues or through specialized dealers.
A compilation album released by Atlantic Records (P-6175A in Japan), focusing on deep, often overlooked soul, R&B, and funk tracks.
It's part of a larger trend of bringing rare tracks to a wider audience, typical of soul compilations from labels like Soul Deep Recordings (though that's a different, modern label).
Tracks are often obscure, offering a treasure trove for DJs and collectors seeking unique sounds. Being an older release, it's valued for its authentic vintage sound, though condition varies wildly on original pressings.
In essence: It's a holy grail for underground soul fans, not a pop chart-topper, celebrated for its deep cuts and authenticity.

Soul Deep – Volume II is a 1977 UK compilation of rare and classic soul, originally released on the Contempo label and licensed through Atlantic Records.
The album is highly regarded among soul collectors for its curation of "deep soul" tracks from the 1960s and 1970s.
It serves as a vital document of soul history, featuring legendary artists like Aretha Franklin, Sam & Dave, and Wilson Pickett alongside more obscure deep soul cuts from artists like Doris Duke and Reuben Bell.
The compilation focuses on emotionally resonant, mid-to-down-tempo soul. Users often associate this series with Contempo Records' curation of 1970s deep soul, with some listeners noting they have enjoyed these specific selections since they first appeared in the 1970s.
