Meditation of the Soul, Vol. II collects soul, funk and early disco from the catalogue of Virtue Records, the Philadelphia label run by guitarist-turned-producer Frank Virtue (1923–1994). Virtue first made his name with The Virtues’ 1959 hit “Guitar Boogie Shuffle,” then built Virtue Recording Studios on North Broad Street, a busy independent room where Gamble and Huff also worked before moving to Sigma Sound.
The set draws on the label’s small-run 45s, with acts such as Ann Byers, Gene Faith, New World, The Creations, The RDM Band and The Virtues. Several tracks overlap with Tramp Records’ 2017 Virtue compilation, while others appear to be new to a reissue. It is issued digitally by Now-Again Records, the Los Angeles imprint founded by Egon, which administers the Virtue catalogue.
