Just in time for your Easter listening, another honeyed drop of scintillating Souldies, courtesy of the Familia. Not quite a full complement of the crew this time round; but that's always likely to be the way of it and there're enough of us to keep the fire stoking ! The G Man came up with another firme cover and a pair of fine tracks from his secret treasure trove. Thanks as always to the regular contributors; they are always there, without fail, having dug out some more rare ones from their collections. Hope this collaboration is up to the high standard we've set ourselves. Enjoy; and let us know !
