Spanning a twenty year time period this 24 track compilation bridges two decades between 1962 to 1982 and includes 10 previously unreleased gems. The Turn Arounds ‘Stay Away’ sounds like a hit that never happened, Little Johnny Hamilton’s raw blues ballad “Apartment #9” is stunning, while Eddie Parker’s ‘Crying Clown’ would set you back around $10,000 on original. It’s not all about hard to find or canned stuff, though: Lee Williams’ divine ‘I Love You More’ charted at the time but sounds sublime, Danny White’s atmospheric ‘King For A Day’ is a joy, John Edwards smooth 70s soul of ‘Messing Up A Good Thing’ is faultless while Mary Love Comer‘s ‘The Price’ brings things into the 80s.
