If you have been in the business 30 years, an album is certainly going to be on the cards. In the case of Kent, it’s the Kent 30: Best Of Kent Northern 1982 – 2012 album.

Yes, 30 years since Kent 001 (aka For Dancers Only) would you believe. To commemorate those years, this CD looks at the history of the classic soul label, taking in highlights from over the years, along with never before compiled (on CD) tunes and even one tune from that first LP – Gene & Gary’s Baby Without You, which is one of those non-CD tracks.

30 tunes, one for each year, all compiled by Ady Croasdell and with the usual detailed liners from the same man. It’s available to pre-order now with a shelf date of 29th October. Full tracklisting below.
