Every die-hard record collector has a want list: a piece of paper, dog-eared and folded over so often it could fall to pieces at any time, and carefully outlines the rare, sought-after singles, LPs, and ephemera that are the focus of every trip to the record shop and collectors' shows. The third volume in Soul Brother's Wants List series celebrates the obsessive-compulsive collector within, compiling 17 rare grooves from the heyday of soul and funk, While much of the material is obscure, many of the accompanying artists are anything but, which speaks volumes about just how easy it is for great music to slip unnoticed through the cracks. Highlights this time around William Bell's "The Man in the Street," Betty Everett's "Wondering" and Archie Bell's "Harder and Harder." ~ Jason Ankeny
