I really enjoyed this book. I actually owned a lot of these albums and recognized most of the ones I didn't own. I would've given it 5 stars if it were'nt for two things. The space that was used for three languages limited the information about the artists, and not having one entry by the Dramatics, when lesser known groups and artists were included. Overall this book would make an excellent addition to any soul music lovers book collection.
I received this book for XMas after seeing it in an issue of Essence magazine last fall. The photos are great, plenty of albums I remember and some artists I hadn't heard of or don't recall who I may check out. I wish there had been more information about some of the artists and their music (some cover photos don't have any essays associated with them) and that for each one the entries weren't repeated in 3 languages - English, and I believe French and Dutch. Otherwise, great photo book!
The best. So many memories and a face to add to the quest of reacquiring these precious albums.
I love this book. Makes me want to buy more music and wish I kept my LPs.
Great compilation of album covers from soul and funk artists---many that I had forgot about! From, there I was off to may local record store (or even ) to look for them!
