Description
Original 1965 ATLANTIC RECORDS pressing of the SOLOMON BURKE collection THE BEST OF SOLOMON BURKE (SD 8109 STEREO)
Green and blue, black fan label
AMG 4 STARS: Solomon Burke built his reputation on these early Atlantic sides, which were corralled by the label for an early greatest-hits collection that father time and a slew of CD compilations have made obsolete. Burkewas the epitome of Southern soul up north, as is evident on "Got to Get You off My Mind," a bluesy shuffler with a southern-drawl tempo. A cover of Wilson Pickett's "'If You Need Me" brought comparisons galore between the two soul singers; after years of listening, it's still impossible to pick a clear-cut favorite and the Pickett-or-Burke debate goes on. "Cry to Me" established the paradigm for Southern soul ballads and "Everybody Needs Somebody to Love," a jump with '50s R&B genes, remains the most popular song in the singer/preacher's repertoire.
Condition: the sleeve grades EX, with a 2" split along the top- see photo. The record grades NM. Original inner sleeve not included, the record ships in an anti-static, dust free, archival sleeve.
