4.0 out of 5 stars More terrific R&B/Pop oldies to enjoy, October 24, 2000

This volume of the "On the Radio" series from Varese focuses on pop and R&B tunes from '64 to '71. Some are not easy to find on CD these days. For example: the first hit single for the group put together by funkster George Clinton back in the sixties, the hit "I Wanna Testify" by the Parliaments. Also included is the remake of the Ben E. King chestnut "Stand by Me" by Spyder Turner (this is the 3 1/2 minute single version instead of the longer LP version found on earlier compilations). You even hear the original hit version of the Burt Bacharach/Hal David tune "Always Something There To Remind Me," years before Naked Eyes hit the charts with the song. Many of these cuts are seldom heard these days on oldies radio stations across the country. I recommend you grab the whole series while you can.

This review is from: On the Radio 6 (Audio CD)

Volume six in the "Dick Bartley On The Radio" series continues the collection of late 60's and early 70's r'n'b and pop hits presented in their single, and in most cases, stereo versions. Many familiar titles appear but as with the other volumes there are some real finds here such as R.B. Greaves' "Always Something There To Remind Me" and the Parliaments' "Testify".

Sound quality is excellent and all tracks except four and five appear in true stereo. Included is an 8-page booklet with background notes on each track.

Here we are offered another outstanding issue in the series that offers promise and hope for further volumes.
