Being a long time "mighty dells" fan. I would like to express my enjoyment of the anthology 2 c.d. edition. disc #1 was filled with vintage dells,with style and versitility. But disc #2 will really knock your socks off. It was a mixture of old and new sounds that was very well arranged and totally enjoyable.I believe this to be some of the best music of their illustrious career.I would recommend listeners old and new to buy and enjoy.

If the "Mighty Mighty" Dells had hailed from Detroit, Memphis, New York or Philly, there'd be hundreds of reviews of this disk instead of a paltry 7. But that was always the Dell's cross to bear. Like the great vocal groups of the 60's and 70's The Dells started as a doo wop outfit in the 50's but unlike the majority of those groups they were able to re-invent themselves and rise phoenix like again in the lates 60's, 70's and even the 80's. The Dells possessed on of the great RnB voices of all time in Marvin Junior. Only Levi Stubbs of the Four Tops and perhaps the late Teddy Pendergrass could step into the ring with Marvin and go toe to toe vocally. His voice is like the guns on a battle ship. Want proof, listen to "the note" at the end of the remake of "Stay in my Corner". Ella shattered glass with her voice, Marvin could bend steel!

A great collection of their works with old and new versions of "Stay in my Corner" and "Oh What a Night". My fave song though are "Always Together" and "The Love We Had (Stays on my Mind)". Masterful music from one of the great un-sung RnB vocal groups in history. Get this, you need it.

I was very young when The Dells were popular, but have never forgotten how much I loved their music. This compilation brought it all back to me. I requested it as a Xmas gift, and am very pleased with it and the background info in the jacket.

Nice thought, but drop-outs from poor tape sources, especially on "There Is", causes this set to be suitable for AM radio only. I've heard Chess/MCA LP "rips" sound better.

I ENJOYED THIS ANTHOLOGY FROM THE MIGHTY DELLS,BUT THE LABEL COULD HAVE PUT SONGS OR EVEN GAVE THIS GROUP A FOUR DISC BOX SET WHICH WOULD HAVE INCLUDED RARE AND UNHEARD TRACKS FROM THIS GREATLY APPRECIATED GROUP.

first of all the Dells Belong in the Rock&Roll Hall Of Fame.next this Set truly captures so much of what Made the Dells One of the Tightest&Baddest Groups.so Much SOul&Warmth through this Double Set."Oh What a Night" alone moves me&Grooves me.

I HAVE BEEN A DELLS FAN FOR A LONG TIME.STARTED LISTENING IN THE MID 70'S.I AM 45 YRS YOUNG.I ALSO NEED SOME HELP IN FINDING A VERY VERY SPECIAL ALBUM.THE NAME OF IT IS NO WAY BACK BYE THE DELLS.IF ANYONE HAS IT, I WOULD LOVE TO BUY IT,USED,NEW .

This CD is not good and I am not enjoying the way it was put together.
