Not Quite Proper, February 12, 2005
This review is from: Rockin on Rampart (Audio CD)
Normally I am a big fan of Proper Records. They put together great single, double and 4 disc sets at rediculously cheap prices. The recordings are meticulously mastered etc... That said, this is the weakest Proper purchase I've ever made. The second disc has most of the hits you would be looking for from Fats, but they are not the original recordings. Instead they are live versions. Some of them are okay, but a lot of them really are just plane bad. The first disc, on the other hand is wonderful- a great collection surveying his early years. So be careful. If you are looking to go a little deeper than Fats Domino's greatest hits, but you also want them too, I'd look elsewhere.
