American in origin but aimed at the British Northern Soul market, which I reckon justifies its inclusion on this site. Soul Galore was one of two labels run by Simon Soussan, the other being Soul Fox (q.v.). Correspondence on the 'Soul Sounds' site suggests that both were available exclusively through Soul importer / wholesaler Selectadisc, of Nottingham - see B.J.D., Black Magic, Green Light and Magic - and certainly the vast majority of copies currently (2022) on sale in Discogs are from vendors in the United Kingdom. The fare on offer on Soul Galore consisted of a mixture of reworks and unlicensed material. There were two main numerical series: an SG-2600 one and an SG-1000 one. One label design served throughout but it came in a wide range of colours. Manufacture was done in the USA; an American company called Monarch was responsible for at least one of the pressings, SG-1002. Soul Galore seems to have operated between 1974 and 1976, after which point Soussan found success as a producer of legitimate Disco records. Other labels dealing in Soul pressings included Soul Source and Out Of The Past (q.v. both) but their issues were 100% unlicensed.
