The Scottish soul haven, Athens Of The North, brings you a must - have follow - up to last year's amazing lovers rock covers compilation! If you're into digging for deep 80s digital reggae, you're no stranger to cover records where reggae and lovers rock artists take on soul & funk hits. But there are so many great tunes that one 2LP set can't hold them all, so here comes this sequel. Just like its predecessor, Volume 2 zeroes in on the rarest (especially in the States) and sweetest R&B covers, featuring the UK lovers rock sound - an electronic, bass - heavy reggae style with a distinct British R&B singing touch. It's all killer, no filler. Start with Pete Campbell's version of Simply Red's “Holding Back The Years” to get a taste. Other highlights include Chosen Few's cover of The Whispers' “Don't Keep Me Waiting,” Fallon Jennings' “All Night Long,” and Derrick Cross' take on Luther's “Never Too Much.” It comes in a full - color gatefold sleeve with reproductions of the original 12” artwork and liner notes. Highly recommended! Black double vinyl pressing. Music label: Athens Of The North 2022. Also available: For The Love Of You Vol.1 - Vinyl 2LP.
To enjoy this vinyl 2LP, first, gently remove it from the full - color gatefold sleeve. Make sure your turntable is clean and properly set up. Place the vinyl on the turntable carefully and use the tonearm to drop the needle at the beginning of the record. Sit back and relax as you listen to the amazing lovers rock covers. When you're done, lift the tonearm gently and return it to its rest position. Then, put the vinyl back in the sleeve. Store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent warping. Avoid touching the playing surface of the vinyl with your fingers to keep it clean and free from scratches.
