Notes
Limited 180gm yellow-colored vinyl LP pressing. Includes insert. Soul Deep is an essential compilation of The Box Tops' best tracks. Hailing from 1960's Memphis, The Box Tops are best known for the hits 'The Letter', 'Cry Like a Baby' and 'Soul Deep', and are considered a major blue-eyed soul group of the period. They performed a mixture of current soul music songs by artists such as James & Bobby Purify and Clifford Curry, Pop tunes such as 'A Whiter Shade of Pale' by Procol Harum, and songs written by their producers, Dan Penn, Spooner Oldham, and Chips Moman. Their records are prime examples of the styles made popular by Moman and Penn at American Sound Studio in Memphis. Many of their lesser known Top 40 hits, including 'Neon Rainbow', 'I Met Her in Church', and 'Sweet Cream Ladies, Forward March', are considered minor classics.
