Lonely Just Like Me – The Final Chapter ... CD Elektra, 1991/1992/1993. Used ... Just Sold Out!
A key comeback moment for Arthur Alexander – arguably one of the first great soul talents to rise from the south at the start of the 60s, but an artist who'd fallen far from fame by the time of this early 90s set! The record was cut at a time when Alexander had all but given up music, and ... read more CD
