Philadelphia Story 1971-1986

　痒いところに手が届くのが良いコンピ。

　ただ最初から痒いと思っているところを掻くのもいいが、無意識なところをちょいと掻いてみたら、ああここ気持ちいいとなり、その周囲がやたら痒きたくなる----そんな背中を皆さんお持ちじゃないでしょうか。

　フィラデルフィア・インターナショナルのコンピ。LP14枚組、140曲収録。

Philadelphia Story 1971-1986　various　(StreetSounds PHST1986)

　実はこれは頂きもの。
　ソウルバー開店をお祝いしていただき店用にと送っていただいた。
　感謝感激、本当にありがたい。

　さて収録アーティスト、収録曲だが、日本のソウルファンの好みからすると偏っている。いや偏っているのは逆か。
　ビリー・ポール、ジーン・カーンがかなり多い。それが駄目じゃなくて、その分、入っていてほしいものが落ちている。たとえばエボニーズが一曲もないとか。

　しかし、そんなものは自分で選曲して編めばいい。背中で言えば自分の手が届くところ。
　意識していないところを掻いてもらう、教えてもらえるのがこういうコンピの良さ。

　というわけで全140曲のアーティスト別のリストつけときます。
