Our Take

In the smoky, dimly lit world of 1970s soul, one label reigned supreme - Contempo Records. The Contempo Story 1973-1977: The Original Home of Soul is a delightful time capsule of the label's heyday, featuring an array of forgotten gems and underground classics.

From the infectious grooves of Candi Staton’s "Young Hearts Run Free" to the funky stylings of The Real Thing’s "You to Me Are Everything", this compilation is a treasure trove of soulful delights. Each track is a snapshot of a bygone era, when love was in the air and the dance floor was the place to be.

The production on these tracks is warm and inviting, with lush arrangements and buttery smooth vocals that will transport you back to a simpler time. Whether you're a die-hard soul fan or just looking to expand your musical horizons, The Contempo Story is guaranteed to satisfy your craving for sweet, sweet soul music.

So grab your bell bottoms and put on your dancing shoes - it's time to get down to the funky sounds of Contempo Records. Trust us, you won't be disappointed.
