Soul searching

January 13th, 2014 in Alternative Cover, Soul by lpcoverlover | 9 Comments

aHyNHMV3ll7omfm3s12FnymXo1_500 copyWe’re looking for a series of French LP compilations of classic Atlantic soul acts doing rock and pop covers.  Like Wilson Pickett doing Love is a Beautiful Thing, and a soul/horns version of Sunshine of Your Love, that kind of stuff.   The covers were illustrated, no photographs.  Can any of our French “cover lovers” help us find any of these?  Perhaps even send a photo?  Thanks for any info!

    It seems that B & W photos always bring out the best of vintage retro to some of us old timers! Happy New Year LPCL Nation!
