This compilation gets to the meat of the Philadelphia music scene as per TSOP, The Sound Of Philadelphia, but as per my pick. By no means is this a complete collection, perhaps not even a good pick, but it is my pick. Different from the music scene in Detroit or Memphis or any of the other scenes around this time. Philadelphia had their sound. The soul had these moments of funk mixed with lush instrumental flourishes with strings and horns. Pretty much setting the groundwork for the disco scene that would follow. I loved it all. This is a great scene to follow the producers. No more, just listen to the tracks.
