Product Description

2008 release that contains the best of the Ovations releases from 1972-78 including two US R&B hits - 'Touching Me' and 'Having A Party'. There are also cuts from both of the Ovations rare SOM albums and singles produced by Mike Curb, Clayton Ivy, Dan Greer and George Jackson and others. The CD includes 'Til I Find Some Way' which has been picking up plays on the Soul scene. We have also dug out some amazing previously unreleased tracks of exceptional quality. These include a session of demos that were intended as a follow up to the group's Chess release that were lost for over 30 years, and a wonderful cut called 'Soul Train' that could easily become a fan favorite. The booklet contains an in-depth sleeve note by Martin Goggin that includes interviews with the last remaining member of the group, Nate Lewis, and the producer of many of the tracks Dan Greer. It also has many rare photographs and illustrations making it a worthy addition to our telling of the Sounds Of Memphis and Ovations stories. 21 tracks. Kent.

ゴールドワックス時代も良かったが、SOM...

投稿日:2008/03/07 (金)

ゴールドワックス時代も良かったが、SOM、XL時代はそれ以上だ。ルイのボーカルはスィートさとスムーズさを増し、バックの音はあの70〜80年代の極上アーバンメンフィスサウンド。オリジナルで出して欲しいって?それは次のお楽しみにしようぜ。遂にSOMのオヴェイションズがCDで聴き放題!これはもったいな過ぎるぜ。エーメン。 僕はこれを死ぬまで聴き続けるぞ。いいだろう、鈴木武彦さん!
