Editorial Reviews

The second of two volumes of the complete Ko Ko singles of Luther Ingram takes this great singer's career through from early 1972 to the final demise of the Ko Ko label in 1978.

Among the 19 tracks are Luther's million selling, original hit version of (If Loving You Is Wrong) I Don't Want to Be Right, its big hit follow-up I'll Be Your Shelter and his recently reappraised Modern Soul crossover favorite, Trying To Find My Love.

All tracks were recorded in the spiritual home of Southern Soul, Muscle Shoals, and the featured musicians include both the Muscle Shoals Rhythm Section and Isaac Hayes' band The Movement.

None of this material had been available in the UK since the early 1990s. Most of it, in fact, has never been available in the UK at any time, not even when first released in the USA in the mid 70s.

All tracks have been freshly remastered from the best sources, rendering any previous issued of the material sonically redundant.

Another fitting memorial to this superbly soulful singer-song writer, who died in March 2007.

1.0 out of 5 stars beware the hype of Kent records -- biggest hit is an alternate recording, August 10, 2009

This review is from: I Don't Want to Be Right - The Ko Ko Singles Volume 2 (Audio CD)

I may upgrade my rating after I get a chance to fully digest this cd, but off the bat I'll say I'm extremely disappointed that it does NOT contain the original recording of "(If Loving You Is Wrong) I Don't Want To Be Right," Luther Ingram's biggest hit. Unfortunately, every time the correct recording has been issued on cd, it's been in mono and from an obviously scratchy record. The stereo version included on this cd is obviously a different vocal take and also, from what I can tell, is also a different backing track.

Acerecords.co.uk makes a big point on their website about how the "master tapes" were finally found and being used for these two volumes of Luther Ingram's KoKo singles, but unless you consider alternate takes to be "masters" then that claim is misleading at best.
