For background please check post on his debute https://monolover.blogspot.com/2012/11/wilson-pickettits-too-late-dl-2300-63.html . One of the most powerful men in American soul back in the days. This is the eighth Wilson Pickett album I'm posting here and a little different since many of the songs are sincere love ballads rather than potent up-tempo. I do get power with "Stagger Lee", "That Kind Of Love", "Don't Cry No More" and "She's Looking Good", but also languishing in cuts like "Jealous Love", I'm In Love" and "I've Come A Long Way". I like this blend for close listening where the calmer parts allow your mind to rest between the fervent ones. Also good at the dance party, offering both upbeat and slow movers. In comparison to all the other tophole soul coming out of America in the sixties maybe not top ten, but certainly good enough for me. The audio on this Italian press is beautiful - big and strong with perfect separation - so without doubt from the US mono tapes. Issued pretty much all over the world on vinyl and/or CD through the years, also US reel. Premiere US in both mono and stereo (Atlantic (SD/8175). UK mono and stereo (Atlantic 587/588 107). EU 2002 CD on Rhino Records (8122-72218-2) came with original mono versions and three bonus tracks. Italian had label as shown here on heavy vinyl in a fully laminated cover. (PÖC*) (ÖTALÖ*)
