For Dancers Only

For Dancers Only is a Kent Records compilation collecting dancefloor-oriented soul and R&B from the US Kent/Modern catalog. The release began as a landmark Kent LP in 1982 and was later issued on CD (catalogue CDHP019, EAN 0029667025225).

The CD edition lists 15 tracks with a total runtime of about 2,413 seconds (approximately 40 minutes). The compilation includes artists such as Mary Love, Felice Taylor, Willie Hutch, the Ikettes, Ike & Tina Turner,. Hill and Lowell Fulson, and was compiled with a focus on uptempo, club-friendly sides.

Pros:

• Curated selection of 1960s Kent/Modern soul aimed at the dancefloor and Northern Soul audiences.
• Includes notable artists and standout R&B/soul sides (examples on the CD tracklist include Ike & Tina Turner, Willie Hutch and. Hill).
• Issued as a remastered CD edition (catalogue CDHP019) that reproduces the original compilation on a single disc.

Cons:

• Single-disc, 15-track running time (~40 minutes) is relatively short compared with multi-disc anthologies.
• Some artists appear multiple times on the tracklist (for example. Hill appears twice), reflecting the compilation’s dancefloor focus rather than broad artist overviews.
• Focused on uptempo and club-oriented selections, so collectors seeking a comprehensive survey of each artist’s work will find the scope limited.
