4.0 out of 5 stars More early formative soul sides, December 11, 2001

This review is from: Birth Of Soul, Volume 3 (Audio CD)

Third volume in Kent's series of compilations gathering up seminal soul tunes, this group primarily comes from the years 1960-1964. As with the others in the series, this CD presents recordings illustrating the evolution of the r'n'b of the 50s into the soul of the 60s. Included here are several major hits - both r'n'b and pop, some minor hits and rarities as well as alternate versions and unreleased recordings. Many of these sides - both hits and rarities - are seldom found on other CDs and if so, not in the quality found here. A few tracks (1,10,12,24) are presented in stereo with the remainder in mono, and as noted, sound quality is about as good as you'll find for these recordings, if found elsewhere at all. A 16-page liner notes booklet offers copious backround on the included tracks along with photos and promo pieces. Another high-quality, niche collection from the Kent family at Ace Records, U.K. Since as of the date of this review, no track listings are given in the product description, they are: 1) A Quiet Place - Garnet Mimms & Enchanters; 2) I Wanna Thank You - Enchanters; 3) If Your Mother Only Knew - Miracles; 4) Don't Feel Sorry For Me - Jimmy Ruffin; 5) Big Lover - Blenders; 6) The Teacher - Falcons; 7) Have Love Will Travel - Richard Berry; 8) Don't Stop The Wedding - Ann Cole; 9) There's Something On Your Mind - Bobby Marchan; 10) People In Love - Taylor Bros.; 11) Help Me - Diplomats; 12) If You Gotta Make A Fool Of Somebody - James Ray; 13) Untie Me - Tams; 14) You Were All I Needed - D C Playboys; 15) When Someone's Good To You - Carolyn Crawford; 16) Play It Again - Pat Lundy; 17) You Can't Run Away From Me - Wanderers; 18) The Palm Of Your Hand - Chuck Wright; 19) Just For You - Billy Watkins; 20) It's Gonna Work Out Fine - Ike & Tina Turner; 21) I Will Never Turn My Back On You - Chuck Jackson; 22) Watch Your Step - Brooks O'Dell; 23) Baby Baby All The Time - Superbs; 24) I Need Your Loving (extended version) - Don Gardner & Dee Dee Ford; 25) She Put The Hurt On Me - Prince La La; 26) Shorty's Got To Go - Impressions; 27) Talk To Me - Sunny & Sunglows; 28) The Rains Came - Big Sambo
