Soul on fire : the Detroit soul story 1957-1977

"With the Motor City in the spotlight again thanks to Kathryn Bigelow's acclaimed movie Detroit, this timely set, curated by those behind the Joe Boy and Outta Sight labels, presents the very roots of the city's lifeblood soul music to show there was another kind of riot going on in the independent studios.Before the third disc corrals obscure Detroit soul imprints such as GM, Puff and Sidra, the first two discs highlight hustling label boss Robert West, whose Kudo and Lu Pine showcased several future soul luminaries ... A total of 86 tracks, including seven previously-unissued and 20 on CD for the first time, are accompanied by a memorabilia-stacked 36-page book telling this little-covered chapter in Detroit's black music history".
