Al Green's Greatest Hits Volume 2

LP (Item 11267) Hi Records, 1977 — Condition: Very Good+
A motherlode of Al's classic soul hits from the early and mid 70's, with essential tracks like "Love & Happiness", "L-O-V-E", "Livin For You", "Full Of Fire", and "Take Me To The River". Great stuff, all sung with Al's perfect voice and great Hi Records backing.  © 1996-2023, Dusty Groove, Inc.

Very Good + (plus)

  • Vinyl should be very clean, but can have less luster than near mint.
  • Should still shine under a light, but one or two marks may show up when tilted.
  • Can have a few small marks that may show up easily, but which do not affect play at all. Most marks of this quality will disappear when the record is tilted, and will not be felt with the back of a fingernail.
  • This is the kind of record that will play "near mint", but which will have some signs of use (although not major ones).
  • May have slight surface noise when played.

Additional Marks & Notes

If something is noteworthy, we try to note it in the comments — especially if it is an oddity that is the only wrong thing about the record. This might include, but isn't limited to, warped records, tracks that skip, cover damage or wear as noted above, or strictly cosmetic flaws.

Al Green

Al Green Is Love
Hi Records, 1975. Sealed
Heavenly soul doesn't get any more heavenly than this! Al Green's at the height of his powers here – working in that wonderfully smooth, wonderfully warm style that made his early 70s material so wonderful! This album's maybe slightly less iconic than some of Green's other titles for Hi ... LP, Vinyl record album
Hi Records, 1975. Very Good+
What can we say? Most of the biggest hits, and many of the very best tracks cut in the prime of Al Green's career – which is to say some of the very best Memphis soul ever recorded! 10 essential tracks in all, and it's just one of these Greatest Hits packages of pure, inarguable perection ... LP, Vinyl record album
Hi Records, Late 60s. Very Good+
What a strange one! The title says "Willie Mitchell Live", but then the back says "All tracks previously released on Hi Records." Clearly, the Memphis bunch are knob-twiddling here, and adding fake applause to some of Willie's better instrumental moments from the old days. ... LP, Vinyl record album
Hi Records, Late 60s. Near Mint-
Funky Willie Mitchell at his best – "hit sound" to be sure, but one that still has plenty of grit in the grooves! The record's one from that stretch when Willie was working in a style that was more funky 45 than anything else – trumpet-heavy instrumentals that seem to take ... LP, Vinyl record album
Hi Records, 1960. Very Good+
Very early grooves from Willie Mitchell – a set that's got a bit more R&B than in Willie's later years – with less trumpet in the mix, and more of an overall punch in the rhythms! Guitar is quite strong on most of these instrumentals – and there's some nice tenor, too – ... LP, Vinyl record album

Jimmy Ruffin

Groove Governor
SOUL, 1970. Very Good
One of those Motown treasures that would have been a runaway hit, were it issued on a label with less going on – but which somehow got lost amidst the shuffle of all the other Motor City greatness of the time! Don't let obscurity make you think that Jimmy Ruffin's not giving his best, though ... LP, Vinyl record album

Sam Cooke

Try A Little Love
RCA, 1965. Very Good
Released shortly after Sam's death, this is a beautiful batch of ballad tracks to remember how sweet his voice was. The production's a bit pop, but Sam's singing is as heavenly as ever. Titles include "When A Boy Falls In Love", "Try A Little Love", "Bridge Of Tears" ... LP, Vinyl record album

Maxine Weldon

Some Singin'
Monument, 1974. Very Good
Sophisticated country soul – almost to southern soul what Marlena Shaw's early 70s work was to northern soul. Bill Justis handled the arrangements, but it's Maxine's adult handling of the material that makes tracks like "Born To Love Me", "Going Where I've Been", "Lov ... LP, Vinyl record album
Atlantic, Late 50s. Very Good
A classic album of Atlantic R&B – issued soon after the tragic early death of the great Chuck Willis! The record includes a chilling photo of Willis' gravestone on the cover – and includes a wonderful sampling of his excellent material for Atlantic, stuff that can often get ...

Wilbert Harrison

Wilbert Harrison
Buddah, 1971. Very Good
Wilbert's come a long way from Kansas City here – working with Marshall Sehorn on a set of southern-tinged arrangements, mostly of older R&B classics, done in a hipper crossover 70s mode that also has a bit of New Orleans funk! Allen Toussaint arranged the horns, which probably helps in ... LP, Vinyl record album

Janet Jackson

Janet Jackson
A&M, 1982. Very Good
Janet's first LP, produced by Foster Sylvers, with a number of tracks written by Rene & Angela. Includes "Say You Do", "Young Love", 'Don't Mess Up this Good Thing" and 'Forever Yours", and more. LP, Vinyl record album
Atco, 1960s/1972. Very Good 2LP Gatefold
