Club Classics Vol 1

Having started out as a London sound system, Soul II Soul became a bona fide musical collective in 1988, issuing their debut single, 'Fairplay', that year and paving the way for unparalleled chart success in both the UK and the US. Gaining traction in the UK clubs, that single, plus it's follow-up, 'Feel Free', found Soul II Soul soundtracking the "Second Summer of Love", and their third single, 'Keep on Movin', finally got people dancing up and down the country as the band's burgeoning fanbase went overground. Taking the group into the Top 5, 'Keep on Movin' was followed by 'Back to Life (However Do You Want Me)', whose infectious groove reached the UK No.1 spot and went Top 5 across the Atlantic. As these singles' parent album, Club Classics Vol. One, became a UK chart-topper and a US Top 20 (under the name Keep on Movin'), Soul II Soul set the pace for British soul music, inspiring countless homegrown acts that have followed. Marking it's 35th anniversary, the album now returns to vinyl in a picture-disc edition featuring the group's signature Funki Dredd logo.
