The second edition of Soul Brother’s ‘The Wants List’ delivers another 18 in demand rare groove / 2 step soul tracks to end the frustrating search for many a collector. As you would expect, everything here is quality from the album’s opener Kellee Patterson’s version of ‘I’m Gonna Love You Just A Little Bit More’, through to the finishing cut ‘When We’re Making Love’ by Denise LaSalle. In between we’re treated to classics such as ‘World In A Crisis’ from Barbara Mason, Edna Wright’s ‘Oops! Here I Go Again’, ‘Shake It Up’ by The Vibrations, Michelle Wiley’s ‘I Feel So At Home Here’ and ‘Unwanted Company’ from Jeannie Reynolds. It’s also good to see Samuel Jonathan Johnson’s ‘My Music’ included. This has long been a favourite of mine, a great quirky soul stepper with an almost mystical feel, taken from the 1978 Columbia album of the same name. One that was actually on my ‘wants list’ was ‘Sho’ Nuff’ by the sweet male harmony group, Sly, Slick & Wicked. This is a fantastic tune originally released on People Records in 1973 and sounds like The Lost Generation.
