Deep Dish Delicacies Vol. 48


After nearly six years at this blogging thing, it's finally happened ... time for a "best of", but with a bit of twist of course. As Deep Dish Delicacies, my first and longest running thematic series approaches its 50th installment, I thought I would round it up with the finest deep soul offerings of the O-O-O-O-Oh Yeah!!! series. It's worth noting that in terms of mono and/or stereo, some of these cuts are not as they appear in their original presentation. Furthermore, most tracks have been completely re-sourced and/or restored with iZotopeRX. Additionally, all tracks have been remastered for this installment, enjoy.

NOTES: 
all tracks released in 2022 with the exception of "Darling Mine" from Wee Willie Walker's (R.I.P.) final recording, released in 2021. Though close to two years old now, I just recently heard about the album and Walker's passing so it's both new and relevant to me.

if so inclined, Parts 1 and 3 can fit on 80 min CD-R. however, Part 2 would require omitting ** track 12 or at least two other tracks of equal or greater length.
