SMASH SOUNDS SD 850 (-67) US

Sampler with a nice blend of black and white. Big hits by artists like Otis Redding, Arthur Conley and Ben E. King together with ones from Shadows Of Knight, Sonny & Cher, Buffalo Springfield and more. So both a chance to get a number of classics at the same place and take in over thirty minutes of highly enjoyable recordings. And there's no cheating with the mixes - Arthur Conley "Sweet Soul Music" is mono, the rest stereo and the audio clear and well separated. One could argue that some of the stereo mixes are too panned, lacking overlapping, but at least they're true and pristine so I'm good listening. Also originally issued in Canada (same number) and Turkey (Melodi Plak 850). Further US as mono vinyl, cassette and reel-to-reel. Premiere US had label as shown here, thick vinyl, glossy cover and ATCO ad inner. (YZÄ*) (SÄM*) (TÄX*)
