Rhino has the Smooth Grooves series, and The Right Stuff does Slow Jams; Hip-O enters the fray of romantic soul ballad compilations with their Glory of Love collections, with separate volumes devoted to the 1950s, '60s, '70s, and '80s...There are no liner notes, and most of the selections have been anthologized several times over, both on vinyl and CD.
