For those of you seeking the Holy Grail of truly exciting music ............ you've reached the Promised Land! The venerable Nick Tosches (liner notes) said it all, "T. Valentine, one of the greatest". This very long awaited compilation on the elusive Mr. Valentine is guaranteed to please fans whose tastes run the gamut from rockin' 50's R 'n B and soul right on through punk and rap. Mr. T demolishes all musical boundaries in his own truly original way. "Do the Do" is one of the great little known records of all time! This guy is the coolest, and he delivers on every track. Don't start the party without it - there's somethin' for everyone!

If it weren't for my nagging suspicion of some postmodern hoax I'd give this album five stars - - that, and the one or two ugly brushes with a strange (comic?) misogyny. Otherwise, his "atonal" and "arhythmic" singing (as I've read it described) is pure emotion led backwards timing shout screaming Betty Sue a-Betty Sue . . . . beautiful stuff, no matter what or where it comes from. If you like your rock-n-roll strangeness on the visceral soul-shouting side, this is a must must must. Plus if anybody knows anything more about this please e-mail me.

A stupefying collection. Give it four or five runs - you'll find a different level every time. A truly aweful medley derived from as many musical genres as you'll care to deal with.

T. Valentine is one of the strangest artists I have ever heard. He's sort of like Hasil Adkins in that you don't quite understand why you love listening to him so much, but you do. And you listen to the disc over and over again. He's a terrible singer, but the content of the songs is what draws you in because it's so off the wall. I will definitely be playing this disc at my parties.

Very fast and proficient sending, like new product... EXCELLENT !! Thank you so much !

This is an awesome CD. I love "Betty Sue"! T Valentine says things we all want to say but don't have enough nerve to say. He adds a down home Rythm & Blues flair to his music and lyrics. Take the time to listen to this CD and the deeper meanings behind the lyrics, and you are guaranteed to be MOOOOVED.
