"Highly recommended summer listening and dancing joy: 10/10."
247 MAGAZINE (UK)

"None of the soul music labels minted by Nashville legend Shelby S. Singleton achieved the fame of his larger rivals, but they were no less fertile, as this to-die-for box set of ten cult 45s from his stables proves."

Action Speaks Louder Than Words (The Best of SSS International)
CD Digipack. Barcode: 84350088-61216
Super Size Soul? Southern Soul Shake? Regrettably, the SSS in SSS International denotes something a little less sexy – Shelby S. Singleton. As the proprietor of this and number of other labels in the late '60's and early '70's, Shelby is more frequently acknowledged as the man who astutely bought the Sun Records catalogue from Sam Phillips in 1969.
From its birth in 1968 until the early 70's, SSS International pumped out up to 200 singles that were either cut at Shelby's Nashville studio or licensed from producers like Allen Toussaint in New Orleans.
This compilation is a snapshot of the sweaty & soulful SSS catalogue, mixing the labels more popular acts like Johnny Adams, Jo Jo Benson and Sam Dees with obscurer artists like Clarence Murray and Mr Jamo.
HEY! There's not a ballad in sight. It's just uptempo dancers and funky soul stompers that reverberate with the spirit of Otis Redding and his gospel rooted R&B.
Available on a DELUXE limited editon boxset of ten 7"s (similar to the previous "Explosivos" boxset) and a handy CD.
