All Of This Goes Too

“All Of This Goes Too: American Soul Music 1955 – 1972” is a luxurious compilation of the finest obscure and greatest classics of 50’s, 60’s and 70’s soul. A beautiful overview of the early years of American soul music, put together as a set that easily moves between deep soul, northern soul, and some of the other hard-burning modes of the time. The package is a great effort from the folks at Mississippi Records, to kick off their Cairo Records imprint – and is done with the sense of history you’ll find in their other reissues – right down to the nice booklet of notes that comes with the album. Many deep ballads and a few rockers, by artists such as The Counts, Gary US Bonds, Irma & Carla Thomas, The Miracles, Pat Brown, Lee Moses, Earl Gaines, Sam & Dave, Solomon Burke and The Isley Brothers.

The cover has amazing gold foil printing, and also contains an extensive 20-page booklet with liner notes and lots of photos!
