Various : These Memories…Rare Soul Gems

Memories of the rare soul scene are manifold but this timeless collection goes right to the heart and soul of the scene and is perhaps best summed up by the emotive title track ‘These Memories’ by Almeta Lattimore. Equally rare is Billy Harner’s ‘I Got It From Heaven’, recorded and produced in 1976 by ‘Sound Gems’ label boss Frank Fioravanti. It was discovered, soon after release, by Richard Searling and covered-up as Bobby Hutton for exclusive plays on his Saturday/Sunday DJ sets at Wigan Casino.
