Soul
Kent Records continue their mission to reissue a string of perhaps-released, perhaps-not music from the untapped vaults of Northern soul. Charting spins at the legendary 100 Club on Oxford Street - a seminal hub for the proliferation of the genre in the 1990s - among its first ever plays, San Francisco TKO's 'Make Up Your Mind' is a hot-harmonizing, instantly recognizable slow jam that urges the listener to make a move. "Who do you want? Why don't you answer, tell me right now!" 'Ooh Baby Baby', meanwhile, jams even slower, seeming to offer an alternate take on the drama: Penny Lewis' lead vocals admit "I did you wrong/what a price to pay", as sublime soprano vocals reach a beautiful high.
