Seano Posted June 17, 2023 Share Posted June 17, 2023 Bloody hell, this sounds good. Hope the trailer isn't cherry-picking! Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Britmusicsoulfan Posted June 17, 2023 Share Posted June 17, 2023 I am incredibly excited for this release! Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Chalky Posted June 18, 2023 Share Posted June 18, 2023 I have heard some of these already and they are quality. It will certainly be an interesting release from a historical point of view to anyone with an interest in soul music. I don’t expect them all to be good listening though. I have heard some songwriter demos that are truly awful 2 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Eddie Hubbard Posted June 19, 2023 Share Posted June 19, 2023 Sounds like a really exciting release Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Lovemusic Posted June 20, 2023 Share Posted June 20, 2023 (edited) Disc three, track three: "Its so wonderful-Frederick Knight". Didn't everyone agree years ago this was Sam Dees singing? Also surprised to see "Its me-Judy Clay" missing from this comp. There's two 7" singles for the re-vamped Deep soul label!

It was, but I expect that the masters are still incorrectly labeled. 2 hours ago, Lovemusic said: Also surprised to see "Its me-Judy Clay" missing from this comp. This was released on the US version of the Soul explosion LP, so probably doesn't warrant inclusion as something unreleased.

Lovemusic Posted June 20, 2023 Share Posted June 20, 2023 In that case it would apply to the Frederick Knight as well. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Ady Croasdell Posted June 21, 2023 Share Posted June 21, 2023 (edited) They didn’t use the male demo of bc Carla Thomas I’ll Never va Stop Loving You; probably because they don’t know who it is or who wrote it - likely to be the same person Edited June 21, 2023 by Ady Croasdell 1 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Seano Posted October 27, 2023 Share Posted October 27, 2023 I'm immensely grateful that several family members chipped in and got me this box set for my birthday. I've been savouring listening through each of the 7 CDs one by one, mostly with gaps of at least a week. The whole project is a stunning tour de force. A really impressive combination of sleeve notes and visuals The series of CDs are helpfully grouped as Stax writers with their tracks that did get a release on Stax (1-3), Stax writers with their tracks that got released on other labels (4), and then, perhaps most interesting of all, uncut tracks (5-7). Deanie Parker and the team who worked with her did a superb job rescuing all of these recordings. This is going to get a lot of re-listening to, and it will be interesting to see if the tracks that stood out first time round remain favourites or how things might change with a few more plays through. 1 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
