The two Kent CDs of material drawn from the vaults of Detroit’s Pied Piper productions have been among the label’s most popular. A fact that will surprise nobody with an interest in 1960s Detroit soul, given that the artists, songs and productions are all of the highest order. Vinyl fans have long been asking us if we would be assembling the best Pied Piper dance cuts on LP to complement our occasional series of 7-inch singles. For them and for everybody, the wait is over thanks to this month’s stunning 12-track dancers’ delight. It explains why the Pied Piper productions are truly “The Pinnacle Of Northern Soul”.
