VA - Dobie Presents British Street Soul

Wicked limited edition 2 disc collection done in association with Spine Magazine from a few years back, compiled by the living legend Dobie. A short review taken from The Fader at the time: "If this magazine was a record store (and sometimes I think it should be) I would put British Street Soul in my section of the Employee Picks display this month, with little stickers I cut out during lunch that said NICK'S SECRET HEAT or GROWN N SEXY or something. Then I'd print out a little blurb to glue on the index card underneath, talking about how UK producer Dobie filled these two excellent discs with his favorite homegrown R&B by everyone from Galliano to Soul II Soul to Finley Quaye (remember him?), taking special care to highlight actual favorites, not just the hits--which is why there's no "Back To Life" from Soul II Soul, and why one hit wonder Junior is represented by a song that wasn't the hit. Then I'd feel really pleased with myself about the GROWN N SEXY sticker, 'cause nobody really reads blurbs, but that kinda stuff moves records."
Also on a related note, check Dobie's new EP on Brownswood (Listen/Buy), all about 'Dumb Girl From Allen Road'.
