In association with Zealous Records, An Aquarium Drunkard will be giving away three copies of the Soul Sides blog-curated compilation Soul Sides Vol. 2 :: The Covers. Like Volume I, this comp is a solid addition to any enthusiast of old funk, soul and r&b’s collection. Each track has been hand selected, and is backed by liner notes from Soul Sides own Oliver Wang.
For those of you who pre-order the album, one lucky winner will receive a Califone turntable. All pre-orders come with an additional eight cover songs as a bonus. Pretty cool

1 | Stumbling Over Chaos :: “Oh, it’s just a harmless little bunny, isn’t it?” May 16th, 2007 at 6:49 amMy guess is the Meters. Hope I’m right - looks like a great album.

5 | Satisfied '75 May 16th, 2007 at 3:00 pmI think “Fever” predates Peggy Lee. Little Willie John may have recorded it first.
6 | jon manyjars May 19th, 2007 at 1:50 pmI’d never heard Donny Hathaway before this track now I’m completely hooked. Just found his ‘Live’ album on vinyl from which ‘Jealous Guy’ is taken and it’s up there with the best live records I’ve ever heard. Thanks again (both to Justin and Oliver).
7 | Alex May 20th, 2007 at 2:36 pm[…] First off, the winners of the Soul Sides II compilation CD giveaway were emailed this weekend, and should receive their CDs by tomorrow. As always - thanks for playing. […]
