Dave Godin's Deep Soul Treasures Taken From the Vaults, Volume 1

Compiled by British soul enthusiast Dave Godin and released in 1997, Deep Soul Treasures: Taken From the Vaults Volume 1 is a compilation of obscure, emotionally direct deep soul recordings. The tracks emphasize gospel-rooted vocal delivery, aching ballads and raw mid-tempo performances with relatively spare production, showcasing the intimate, impassioned side of soul that collectors prize. The album is aimed at listeners who appreciate hard-to-find, heartfelt soul recordings rather than mainstream hits.
