Soooooooooooo good, Soulful too....highly recommended.

I wrote the following about it in Shades Of Soul back in 2000:

Ed Cooper - Just Like The Hero - Nimrod 904

Hey, do you appreciate a quality mid to late sixties Detroit production you do, then my friend this one's for you. How has this one escaped through the net and been overlooked for so long as it's such a classy sound, and will appeal to many fractions of the Northern collecting scene that now exist? A military sounding start with male group harmonies ooo-ooing over a beating snare drum and then a truly wonderful tight brass scale introduces Ed. Now, this guy has a great voice, yes just like dare I say Levi? "Just like the hero, I'm gonna win", right on, "I'll be right by your side, to love you and be your guide, and maybe make you forget the other guys". For sure he's gonna win her love, and proceeds to tell us how and why, whilst a lead guitar picks along and the male chorus give their responses right on time, all together creating it's late 60's classy feel within it's Joe Hunter arrangement. I've only just got my original copy back after letting it go in a trade years ago, and I've taped it for a few friends recently, and all agree it's a very "now" sounding disc. So, get it quick if you can, before this one gets its long overdue break, and the price jumps safely well into three figures.
