Album:
Howard Mallet Soul Pt1 Ok... so here is what i consider to be 'Howard Mallet Soul'. I have attempted to pick the obvious ones from my collection. Once again many of these tracks come from tapes recorded from the 'original viynl', on some you can hear the needle going down and the crackle as it plays! So this is Pt1 in no particular order of merit just all hugely popular, and superb soul. |

Howard Mallet Soul Pt2
Here is Pt2 and we start off with an absolute classic! This was the first record i ever bought ever! I was 15 yrs old and i bought it from one of my mates at school for a £1, i've still got it today. When i got home from school i rushed upstairs to my room and stuck it on the record deck, it was 1972 and i was in heaven. |
