A debatable one, I suppose, but as I've given Penny Farthing's 'Trophy' and Spark's 'Northern Soul' series pages on the strength of a mere overprint consistency demands that I do the same for Capitol's 'Capitol Soul' series. From the summer of 1975 into the autumn of 1976 Capitol gave a group identity to its Soul singles and marked them with a 'Capitol Soul' logo. A few of them got into the Charts: Natalie Cole's 'This Will be' b/w 'Joey' (CL-15834; 8/75) stalled outside the Top 30, but subsequently Tavares reached the No.4 spot twice in succession with 'Heaven Must Be Missing An Angel (Parts 1 & 2)' (CL-15876; 6/76) and 'Don't Take Away The Music (Parts 1 & 2)' (CL-15886; 9/76). Tavares kept on having hits but none of the others bore the Capitol Soul logo. Unsurprisingly catalogue numbers were taken from the main Capitol series and demo copies were marked in the usual Capitol fashion (2).
