Dave Godin's Deep Soul Treasures Volume 3
Barney Hoskyns, MOJO, January 2001
"DEEP SOUL Records will be just what their name implies," the manifesto for Dave Godin's Deep Soul label declared when it launched in 1969. "Non-commercial recordings, but recordings which are of such sterling quality it would be a sad loss to the artistic development of the whole soul scene not to make them available to the minority who are hip enough to appreciate them and not at some indefinite date in the future."
