Two nice little groovers from Aura – 80s club numbers with a sound that's less disco than some of the other work on Salsoul. "Are You Single" is really the best one here – a catchy track with a really great hook, snapping along at a fast midtempo pace, with a clean and simple ... (Soul) read more12-inch, Vinyl record
A massive collection of work by Aurra – easily the deepest we've seen so far, and one that goes past all of the other anthologies of their music on the market!

Sweet 80s grooving from one of Salsoul's best acts of the post-disco years – a group with a groove that comes up right from the bottom, thanks to a great ear for a funky bassline!

You might know Tommy Stewart for his rare solo album – or for his underground work on the Atlanta scene of the late 70s – and here, he really makes for some fresh sounds for the Salsoul label, by bringing in a lot more funk at the bottom than usual for the mostly-disco imprint – ...

A turning point for Loleatta Holloway – as she makes the move from dreamy southern soul diva to club queen of the late 70s!
