VA – Mixology: The Definitive Salsoul Mixes (Harmless)
The Salsoul label, founded by brothers Joseph, Stanley and Kenneth Cayre in 1975, was fundamental in the development of dance music, right from the point that they released the first commercially available 12″ record in 1976.

But, the reason that [...]
