Funk, Soul Ltd Edition 2x12" Gold Vinyl Live @ The Roundhouse 2022 Finally Available
When Soul II Soul hit the stage at the legendary Roundhouse in December 2022, it wasn’t just a homecoming—it was a masterclass in groove. Now, for the first time ever, that unforgettable night is being released, captured on a limited-edition gold-coated double vinyl to mark 35 years since Club Classics Vol. 1 changed the game. With Charlotte Kelly and Nadine Ceaser delivering powerhouse vocals and a sold-out crowd locked into every beat, this live recording oozes that signature Funki Dreds energy.
From the first note to the last, it’s a journey through deep rhythms, smooth harmonies, and the unmistakable sound that made Soul II Soul legends. Jazzie B sums it up best: "Every so often when we get together to perform there’s a surge of positive energy backstage that can transcend from us to the audience and back to the stage. The show at the roundhouse in 2022 was one of those incredible moments.Enjoy with a happy face and thumping bass."

Soul II Soul is a two-time Grammy winning act that emerged at the end of the 1980s from London. The group initially attracted attention as a sound system, playing records at house and street parties (where their clothing style - dubbed "Funki Dred" - quickly made a splash, inspiring them to start a line of clothing). Founded by Jazzie B and featuring a changing roster of other musicians - notably Nellee Hooper, Simon Law, Phillip 'Daddae' Harvey and Caron Wheeler - Soul II Soul's experiments in music-making of their own resulted in the dub plate "Fairplay," which secured them a deal with Virgin Records. They had huge hits in 1989 with the singles "Keep on Movin'" and "Back to Life (However Do You Want Me)," both from their debut album Club Classics Vol. I. These songs (both featuring Wheeler on vocals) set the tone for early 90s mainstream dance music in the UK.
Their follow-up album, Vol. II: 1990 - A New Decade, yielded the hits "Get a Life" and "A Dream's a Dream," the latter featuring operatic vocals by Victoria Wilson-James. While their U.S. following declined somewhat following its release, Soul II Soul continued to have hits in the UK, including 1992's #4 single, "Joy."
Soul II Soul reached Volume 5 of their series for Virgin in 1995, then released 2 more albums for Island Records. Read more on Last.fm. User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.
