Philadelphia International Records - the 40th anniversary box set

"Despite the endless reiteration of Motown's manicured history, the influence of Philadelphia International remains stronger in the real world ... With its superior songs, singers and symphonies, it made soul that seduced the dancers of its day without sucking up to fashion. As a result, this collection anthologises a heart-lifting, foot-teasing and often thought-provoking music that ranks with the greatest that America has produced ... An immensely satisfying and exciting collection".
