About This Item
- Details
- Genre: Rhythm & Blues
- Description: Having previously brought you well-received collections of the US singles A's and B's of Stax mainstays William Bell and Isaac Hayes, it came as no surprise to us that we would already be asked 'who's next?' in what has, in short order, become an essential mini-'series'. This month Ace can reveal that we are affording the same treatment to perhaps Stax's biggest traditional soul artist of the post-Otis Redding era, with the first of two volumes that will cover the singles of Johnnie Taylor from 1965 through to the end of 1973 - a job long overdue, even if we do say so ourselves. Across our two volumes it's possible to trace JT's musical evolution from bluesy soul contender to bonafide soul superstar, from the consistent but comparatively modest hits he enjoyed during the tag's 'blue' era to the non-stop top 10 R&B/Top 50 Pop success that came his way after 'Who's Making Love' (a song he hated, incidentally!) put him front and centre in the Soul winners circle in 1968. This compilation features all of Taylor's 'blue' singles and carries his hit streak of the 'yellow' Stax era through to the end of 1970 with 'Steal Away'. Being a singles compilation we have endeavoured to use mono masters where we were able to find them. Some of these mono mixes differ considerably from the stereo versions that the world has become familiar with, and a number are being reissued here for the first time ever. As always, the superb remastering here is complemented by a booklet that features the usual high standard Kent annotation and a wealth of tag shots and ephemera that makes the package as good to look at as it is to listen to!In the wake of the undoubtedly positive reception we are sure this collection will receive you can look forward to the fact that the second and final volume of Taylor's 45s will hopefully be with you by the end of 2025 or early 2026.

Limited vinyl LP repressing in gatefold jacket. Off the Wall is the fifth solo studio album by Michael Jackson. It was released on August 10, 1979, following Jackson's critically well-received film performance in The Wiz. While working on that project, Jackson and Quincy Jones had become friends, and Jones agreed to work with Jackson on his next studio album. Recording sessions took place between December 1978 and June 1979 at Allen Zentz Recording, Westlake Recording Studios, and Cherokee Studios in Los Angeles, California. Jackson collaborated with a number of other writers and performers such as Paul McCartney, Stevie Wonder and Rod Temperton. Five singles were released from the album. It was his first solo under Epic Records, the tag he would record on until his death roughly 30 years later. Album Tracks 1. Don't Stop 'Til You Get Enough 2. Rock with You 3.
