A massive batch of music – and almost as worth it for the overall package as it is for the great tunes inside! Like other volumes in this series, this set is beautifully put together – not only stuffed with an amazing array of classic soul from a key year in the 60s – but also done with a full color booklet that's over 60 pages long – filled with track-by-track notes on the tunes, and filled with great photos, images, and historical data! The whole thing's a perfect soul music time capsule – with the depth of production that we've always loved in Bear Family releases for other genres. Titles include "Neighbor Neighbor" by Jimmy Hughes, "Baby" by Carla Thomas, "Tell It Like It Is" by Aaron Neville, "Hold On I'm Coming" by Sam & Dave, "Cool Jerk" by The Capitols, "Barefootin" by Robert Parker, "Stop Her On Sight" by Edwin Starr, "Darling Baby" by The Elgins, "She Blew A Good Thing" by The Poets, "You've Got My Mind Messed Up" by James Carr, "A Sweet Woman Like You" by Joe Tex, "I'm Gonna Miss You" by The Artistics, "Stay With Me" by Lorraine Ellison, and "Ain't Nobody Home" by Howard Tate.
