NUMERO's Eccentric Soul series! NUMERO" Eccentric Soul Series is a compilation of rare, hard-to-find soul records and hidden treasures from the depths of unknown private recordings, as we consider "Sweet Soul" established from the late 1960s to the 1970s as a "sweet territory" between lowrider culture and symphonic soul. This compilation of rare soul records is a compilation of hidden treasures that have been unearthed by diving deep into the unknown depths of private sound sources! Color disc: Opaque Peach

Don't Stop Smiling" (sample_1) by Jus' Us, an Ohio soul group that only released two 7inches in the two years from 1973, with its beautiful harmony contrasted with the groove of the rhythm section. Gentle Man" (sample_2) by the mysterious group The Defaulters, also from Ohio and only found on a 7inch, is another super-sweet, mellow song with mellow electric piano and guitar parts. These songs were introduced on NUMERO compilation in 2011 and became widely known, and Jus' Us' song was sampled on NxWorries' "Dntstop (Interlude)," etc. The original is a rare disc that is still wanted.
The original is sampled in "Dntstop (Interlude)" by NxWorries, and the original is still very rare. From NUMERO classics to hard-to-find items, this is a wonderful compilation that matches the concept of "Sweet Soul". Recommendation! (Original Japanese text by AYAM)
