B.J. Thomas - The Complete Sceptor Singles - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

2012 two CD collection from the Pop/Country vocalist. From his 1966 recording of Hank Williams' InchI'm So Lonesome I Could CryInch through his 1972 double-sided hit single InchThat's What Friends Are ForInch/Happier Than the Morning Sun,Inch B.J. Thomas enjoyed a string of hits rivaled by few artists of the era, and the fact that he did it for an independent tag, Scepter, makes his achievement even more impressive. Various compilations of B.J.'s Scepter sides have come and gone, but never one quite like this this double-CD set includes the a and B-side of every single B.J. cut for the tag (minus two duplicate B-sides), 44 tracks in all including all 19 hits he scored for the tag. And don't forget, with all those B-sides, you are getting a bunch of rare, non-LP single sides (11 of 'em, to be exact). Add notes by Mike Ragogna featuring fresh quotes from the artist and photos and you've got the most comprehensive B.J. Thomas compilation ever released.
