Soul Life is an excellent compilation featuring 16 new and mainly unissued Quality up tempo Soul tracks. Diplomats of Soul ft Incognito make a terrific version of ‘Brighter Tomorrow’ that if anything is better than Tom Browne’s original. Sparkles ‘So Good’ is a contemporary boogie tune, Tasha Page Lockheart ‘Best Work’, Cool Million ft Marc Evans ‘Don’t you Wanna dance’, Tom Glide ‘Soul Life’ (Philly groove mix), Olga Makovestskaya ‘Got to keep on moving’ are all good up tempo dancers. Chris Ballin ‘Endlessly’ , Sheree Brown ‘Your love lifts me higher’ and Robin McKelle ‘Control Yourself’ (Opolopo mix) provide a great contrast with more soulful tracks. Top Quality Compilation one of best from Expansion In years.

Another great compilation from Expansion Records, from the opening track a brilliant version of theTom Brown classic through to the best version of Paul Johnson’s dance-floor filler every track’s a winner.
Have had this cd on in my car ever since it arrived.
I hope this is the first in a new series of compilations from the mighty Expansion records.

Simply gotta endorse earlier reviews. This is a fine uplifting comp which has already had a couple of blasts on my car stereo enroute to work. I love these Expansion comps- consistently high quality selections and opening my ears to new artists
