Now, THIS is the way I remember "Little Esther". This a REALLY FUN CD; I listened to it over and over, just like being a little kid again with a new album you want to really burn into your brain. BUY IT NOW.

I have the original vinyl album of Memory Lane and was told by several vinyl records collector/dealers in 1996 that it was one of the 75 if not not the 50 rarest records in the world and worth several thousand dollars. Naturally they wanted to buy it but I kept it until I could get it digitally recorded on cd. Finding this cd was a fluke. Even though this cd was not digitally remastered it still it still sounds pretty darn good. It's sounds like you're listening to an old favorite vinyl album. If you like Little Ester Phillips and you're not fortunate enough to own the vinyl album, this cd is a pretty good copy. I'll keep my vinyl album till I can get it digitally remastered or a digitally remastered cd becomes available but I'll be playing this cd. I rated it a 4 insted of a 5 only because it wasn't digitally remastered, and that does effect the quality of the sound
slightly.So it's a 5 Thumbs Up for the music and a 4 Thumbs up for the quality of the sound=4. So, if you love Little Ester Phillips this cd is well worth buying.

Although "Release Me" ain't on this CD, Little Esther could REALLY sing.....IMHO, "The Best of Esther Phillips, (1962-1970) is MUCH BETTER!!!
Git IT!!!!
