Galaxy Sound Co. know how to repackage lost and rare soul 7″s, and this new two-headed funk bullet from Thelonious Gillespie is just painfully on target. The first edit is of “Soul Food” by Frankie Seay & The Soul Riders, a moody, dusty percussion bomb brimming with breaks and a grainy guitar accompanied by fine brass waves. Lyn Christopher’s “Take Me With You” is pruned and reshaped into a glorious soul ballad with a hard edge, and a driving rhythm led by gliding electronic guitars and an inimitable bassline.
