Annotation — Vietnam War Compilations

A year later another extensive collection of songs, from 1962 to 1973, appeared, featuring "classic soul dedicated to the life of a soldier", and mainly about the Vietnam War. Californian label FTR Records released this lot. It included more obscure, rare tracks, such as "Home From Vietnam" by Patricia Denson & the Soul Expressions, "Returning Home From Vietnam" by the Auditions, "Wish You Were Here With Me" by The Fawns, and "Bring My Buddies Back" by Change of Pace.
