5.0 out of 5 stars Fine cross-section of rare 60s soul, July 11, 2001

This review is from: Best of Sue Records (Audio CD)

This Cd is an excellent collection of lesser-known 60s soul. Right up there with the Loma Records and Blue Rock records compilations. We hear the early Ike and Tina with "It's Gonna Work Out Fine" (BTW That's actually Mickey of Mickey and Sylvia speaking to Tina, and not Ike, beign that Ike ain't the most articulate guy in the world) and "Poor Fool." We Hear Charlie and Inez Foxx with their energetic version of "Mockingbird." There's Tina Britt with "The Real Thing" (penned by Ashford and Simpson) sounding like the twin sister of Martha Reeves' "Quicksand" (which isn't a bad thing at all). "She Blew A Good Thing" which reminds you of a inner city high school gym dance circa 1966 (can't you see them jerk?). There's also half of Jimmy McGriff's High-powered version of "I Got A Woman" and Wilbert Harrison's original version of Canned Heat's "Let's Work Together" with an appealingly wheezy harmonica. Buy this and see what your oldies stations have been missing.

4.0 out of 5 stars A Great CD, March 2, 2000

This review is from: Best of Sue Records (Audio CD)

I deliberated over buying this CD -- I really only wanted The Real Thing by Tina Britt -- but man am I glad I finally bought it! This is one really great CD, especially if you like that kind of bluesy mid 50s/early 60s rock. A highly recommended CD.

5.0 out of 5 stars Tina Britt And So Much More!!, January 26, 2005

By 

PETER J SAMMON "Camman722" (GLEN RIDGE, NEW JERSEY United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Best of Sue Records (Audio CD)

Sue records was founded by one Mr. Juggy Murray in 1958 and was based in NYC through the 60's. As the record co. sported several different labels e.g. Symbol and Eastern...it became the Northeast R&B label of that decade! Like another reviewer...I too was only after Tina Britt's..."The Real Thing" which is absolutely a dynamite record and perhaps the most overlooked R&B classic of all-time! You do really get so much more than that one great song as every track is wonderful. You even get the hard to find Poets' class..."She Blew A Good Thing." Anybody who loves the 60's sound is in for a real treat with this CD despite the monaural sound. Yes...indeed some shortcomings of the master tapes are evident but overall...Sue never sounded better!
