Stars on 45

British soul "connoisseur, collector and writer" John Ridley provides concise, trenchant reviews of dozens of deep soul 45s at this simply-adorned web page. In addition to offering his views on cuts by such artists as Tina Turner, Big Maybelle, and Bobby Thomas, Ridley also provides RealAudio sound clips of each track. Many of the tracks will be hard to locate on vinyl, though there is label information to aid the determined collector. A few samples from this rich sonic tapestry will have you longing for the days of turntables and hi-fi.
