Editorial Reviews

2003 compilation highlights the world-famous R&B group's early 1950s 'pre-fame' recordings for the Federal label. 24 tracks transferred & mastered directly from the original first generation tapes. Includes their sessions with Linda Hayes' entire King recordings, two of which were unearthed for the first time. Ace.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Real Collector's Item!, February 3, 2007

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Complete Federal Recordings (Audio CD)
This CD is rated five stars only because of its historical content. The music is actually VERY bad!! The most interesting cut is "Only You", the original record issued on Federal before the group was signed by Mercury. The difference between the original and the final classic hit is amazing. The liner notes themselves are worth their weight in gold.
