Quotes:

Mike Chadwick – Jazz FM "If it's been 'Selected' then you know your ears are in for a treat, be it soulful grooves, jazzy vibes or exclusives, THS 2 has it covered. Everything a good compilation should have with the watchword being quality - can't recommend it highly enough."

Robbie Vincent – Jazz FM
"There's a new compilation out and upon it, to give you some idea of how good the compilation is, it's The Hurst Selection 2, this track from Gabriele Poso - which is great!"

Soul Brother Records – London
