Wonderful early work from Clydie King – a singer who rose to much greater fame in the 70s, thanks to session work, funk recordings, and an association with Bob Dylan – but one who's heard here in some killer singles from the 60s! As you'd guess from the title, the material here all originally appeared on the Minit or Imperial labels (apart from the set's unreleased tracks) – and given the close relation of those labels, there's a relatively unified feel – kind of a California approach that mixes in a bit of deep soul roots to a fuller, more New York style of soul. Production on some tracks is by Jimmy Holiday and Jerry Riopelle – and arrangements are by Rene Hall, Nick DeCaro, and others – really great throughout, with a strength that's quite surprising, given the spare circulation of these singles at the time. CD features 22 tracks in all – some previously unreleased – and titles include "When In Rome", "If You Were My Man", "Missin My Baby", "Soft & Gentle Ways", "My Mistakes Of Yesterday", "I'll Never Stop Loving You", "One Part Two Part", "Shing A Ling", "The Way I Love My Man", and "Ode To Billie Joe". © 1996-2024, Dusty Groove, Inc.
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.
Used CD Grade
We only use the grade "Used CD" for non-new CDs. This all-encompassing grade was chosen it because we only buy and offer used CDs in the best possible condition.
When you purchase a used CD you can expect the disc to be free of all but the lightest of surface marks, the case to be clean (we often change the cases ourselves), and the booklet to be in good shape. Used CDs may show some signs of use, but if there are significant details or defects we will describe the item's condition (just like we do with LPs), so look for notes on cutout marks, stickers, promo stamps or other details before ordering.
All of our used CDs are guaranteed to play without skipping or flaws. After you receive a used CD from Dusty Groove, you have 1 week to play it to determine that it plays correctly. If it does not, you can request a return for a full refund.
