Ace revisit some past vinyl only compilations from the 1980s and this 26 track collection is drawn from the Capitol, Liberty, Minit, Imperial and United Artists labels. The first 16 tracks are sequenced in the same order as the original LP with highlights coming from Patrice Holloway ‘Love And Desire’, Bobby Sheen ‘Dr Love’, Benny Spellman ‘Fortune Teller’, Jimmy Holliday/Clydie King ‘Ready Willing And Able’ while The Magnificent Men’s ‘Nobody Treats Me The Way You Do’ is a class, thumping dancer. June Jackson’s ‘What’s Underneath That Counts’ is a classic, ‘What You Gonna Do (When Your Love Is Gone)’ from Bobby Womack is superb while ‘Nothing Left To Do But Cry’ by Merry Clayton is a spare, heartfelt ballad. Great stuff.
