Reissue of the 1979 Bandy LP of the same title (Bandy 700003). Released 2008 and limited to 2000 copies. Split issue with New Orleans-based Change Records with a joint catalog number. "Change Records N.O., La." appears on back cover. No catalog number and no indications on cover or label that this is a Mississippi Records release, however "MR-21/C-01" appears in the dead wax. Features the earlier work by Ms. Thomas including some of the best tracks from her initial years on the Crescent City soul scene. Most of the numbers were written by Aaron Neville. Thomas initially began recording on the Minit label, working with songwriter and producer Allen Toussaint on songs including "It's Raining" and "Ruler Of My Heart," which was later reinterpreted by Otis Redding as "Pain In My Heart." Imperial Records acquired Minit in 1963, and a string of successful releases followed. These included "I Wish Someone Would Care" (her biggest national hit), and its B-side "Break-a-Way" (later covered by Tracey Ullman, among others). This is a fantastic collection of all of Irma's early singles for the Minit and Imperial labels. Although a compelling and talented singer dubbed "The Soul Queen of New Orleans," she never received the notoriety of contemporaries like Etta James and Aretha Franklin.
