jazzbo Posted September 17, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 17, 2006 I ordered this. . . I have no James Brown of this vintage and this is likely a really good series . . . . Also ordered a four cd set of Tom Jones for my wife. . . 20 bucks. And if you're a Peggy Lee fan, check out the "Classics & Collectibles" imported two cd set they're selling for 10 bucks! This is a really nice set with some rareties inside including duets with Jim Backus. . . and Jimmy Rowles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Magnificent Goldberg Posted September 17, 2006 Report Share Posted September 17, 2006 I seem to have about half of these trax. But it's a limited edition. Owwww! MG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harold_Z Posted September 17, 2006 Report Share Posted September 17, 2006 Yeah. I know. I have quite a few of the early (King) lps and a lot of these tracks are on them. I really should check...maybe ALL of them are on those lps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HWright Posted September 19, 2006 Report Share Posted September 19, 2006 (edited) Yeah. I know. I have quite a few of the early (King) lps and a lot of these tracks are on them. I really should check...maybe ALL of them are on those lps. I agree. This is frustrating. I'm always in favor of more JB product, but taking into account the complicated nature of JB's catalogue and all the previous reissues/collections, I think I would prefer to see a complete box set of JB's work at Federal/King. Here is my data on this period of JB's work: King/Federal Years Single =X Please, Please, Please 1959 Please, Please, Please b/w Why Do You Do Me X Try Me b/w Tell Me What Did I Do Wrong X I Feel That Old Feelin' Comin' On That's When I Lost My Heart Chonnie-On-Chon b/w I Won't Plead No More X Hold My Baby's Hand Tell Me What I Did Wrong Baby Cries Over the Ocean Begging, Begging b/w That When I Lost My Heart X No, No, No, No b/w Hold My Baby's Hand X That Dood It b/w Baby Cries Over the Ocean X I Don't Know b/w I Feel That Old Feelin' Comin' On X I Walked Alone Love or a Game b/w Messing with the Blues X Let's Make It Just Won't Do Right Try Me 1959 There Must be a Reason I Want You So Bad b/w There Must be a Reason X Why Do You Do Me X Got to Cry b/w It was You X Strange Things Happen Fine Old Foxy Self Messing with the Blues Try Me It Was You I've Got to Change b/w It Hurts to Tell You X Can't Be the Same b/w Gonna Try X It Hurts to Tell You I Won't Plead No More You're Mine, You're Mine b/w I Walked Alone X Gonna Try Don't Let it Happen to Me Non-LP Single 1959 Doodle Bug (instr) b/w Bucket Head X Think 1960 Think b/w You've Got the Power X Good Good Lovin' b/w Don't Let it Happen to Me X Wonder When You're Comin' Home I'll Go Crazy b/w I Know It's True (I Found Someone) X This Old Heart b/w Wonder When You're Coming Home X I Know It's True ( I Found Someone) Bewildered b/w If You Want Me X I'll Never, Never Let You Go You've Got The Power If You Want Me Baby, You're Right b/w I'll Never Never Let You Go X So Long Non-LP Single 1960 The Bells b/w And I Do Just What I Want X Edited September 19, 2006 by HWright Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WD45 Posted September 19, 2006 Report Share Posted September 19, 2006 With the past history of these things, you should buy two on speculation and one to listen to! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harold_Z Posted September 20, 2006 Report Share Posted September 20, 2006 So there are just 4 tracks that weren't on the lps then? Still, I find this hard to resist. The sound will probably be great. PLUS session info. Non existent on the King lps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jazzbo Posted December 11, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 11, 2006 My previous versions of this material are on scratched party lp and cassettes. . . . So. .. YES. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John L Posted December 11, 2006 Report Share Posted December 11, 2006 This is a bit frustrating, as it looks like the previous Roots of a Revolution set, but with the hits added. (Roots of a Revolution covered only the non-hits, as they apparently didn't want competition with the Greatest Hits collections. ) At any rate, I have programmed the hits in through iTunes. So I would only bite if there was a MAJOR sonic upgrade here. Speaking of Hip-0-Select, is anybody familiar with the post-Motown David Ruffin albums that are now available?

Stefan Wood Posted December 11, 2006 Report Share Posted December 11, 2006 I used to have the Roots of a Revolution set, and I consider this to be a sonic upgrade. Better liner notes as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you asking about the titles on the Hip-0-Select site? Actually, I misunderstood. These are Motown albums. I meant David Ruffin volume 2. I absolutely adore the track "Walk Away From Love." But I wonder how the rest of the Van McCoy stuff holds up with Ruffin. I have Ruffin volume 1, and like that.

BruceH Posted December 17, 2006 Report Share Posted December 17, 2006 Since I've still got Roots Of A Revolution, I can't see my way clear to getting this new set. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Van Basten II Posted December 12, 2010 Report Share Posted December 12, 2010 With the past history of these things, you should buy two on speculation and one to listen to! Just became aware of this series and you sir were right, which means I'm out of luck, ain't no way paying these prices for a couple of cds.

billyboy Posted February 3, 2011 Report Share Posted February 3, 2011 Amazon offers MP3 downloads of this series, even the out of print ones, for about $14. For some reason, volume 9 is only $3.99!

king ubu Posted March 1, 2011 Report Share Posted March 1, 2011 I'm hooked by this series... got Vols. 3, 4 and 6 now, waiting for Vols. 1, 5, and 7-9 to be delivered in the next days/weeks. Amazon.com still has Vols. 1 and 5, but Vol. 2 is way over the top right now... anyone has a lead where I might find that one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
