UK reissue of this digitally remastered collection of early "70s recordings for the Mercury Records label by the Soul star, The name of Don Covay may be familiar from major hits `Mercy Mercy" and `See Saw" from the golden age of mid-"60s Atlantic Records, but as that label moved towards the Rock market in the early "70s, Covay moved on to continue recording his distinctive style of story-line Soul songs, first with a solitary LP for Janus in 1970 followed by two LPs for Mercury released in 1973 and 1974, each containing a typical mixture of gospelly Soul ballads and chunky, lyrical Funk items. All the recordings have been unavailable for many years, and all are keenly-sought collectors" items, (with many enquiries on the Southern Soul lists) which fit splendidly into the profile and catalogue of Shout Records. 17 tracks. 2008.
