Earlier 45s, the debut Soul Of The Nation and Your Blind Soul have long since sold out on 7" but all five singles appear on this limited edition 12" vinyl which comes with CD and a download code for MP3s.The familiar opening Bass and piano refrain of title track 'Soul Of The Nation' leads the way perfectly, setting us up nicely for the classic soul 45 appeal of 'Before I Let You Down Again'. Never letting that early benchmark slip the Sha La La's keep us out on the floor. (Keep On) Takin' Us Higher, 'When Love Comes, the "in yer face" driving soul of Your Blind Soul all feature on this LP, as does the uptempo, four to the floor soul stomper and latest single You Got Me (Wantin), the inspirational Hold On, Bring It Down On You and the B side to the latest 45 Put It Right. The finale is the instrumental version of Soul Of The Nation, carrying you high above its head, brass section to the fore, Hammond organ swirling and that infectious rhythm that just keeps on takin us higher..Movin to the Soul Of The Nation, its our salvation, its all we need to feel alive!
