VA - Soul Legends (2004) 12CD *Re-Up*

This is a boxset of re-recordings and live performances and will be of interest to those interested in hearing alternate recordings of classic soul tracks. Some of these tracks are quite good. Others don't compare to the original in my opinion. Some of the songs are by well known performers that are not the same performer that had the hit originally. All in all this makes an interesting set.

The back of the CDs state these are original recordings but I'm telling you very, very few are. The vast majority are not the hit versions. However, most of them are very good.
