Soul Hits (MFP 1280) is a classic compilation LP issued on the Music for Pleasure (EMI) label, featuring a collection of well-known soul and R&B tracks from the late 1960s and early 1970s. This UK-licensed release brings together popular favourites such as “In the Midnight Hour,” “Dock of the Bay,” “Respect,” “Land of a Thousand Dances,” “Knock on Wood,” “Sweet Soul Music” and more — a snapshot of the era’s best-loved soul anthems.
Music for Pleasure compilations were designed to offer broad appeal at accessible prices, and this title is a great example: familiar tracks from major soul artists packaged together for easy listening. While not a premium-priced collector’s item, Soul Hits remains a nostalgic favourite for fans of classic soul and rhythm-and-blues.
