"...Just A Page In Your Book Of Memories...",
By Mark Barry, Reckless Records, London (UK) - See all my reviews (VINE VOICE) (HALL OF FAME REVIEWER) (TOP 50 REVIEWER)
This review is from: Atlantic Unearthed - Soul Brothers (Audio CD)
Subtitled "16 Lost Classics By The Greatest Soul Men Ever", this 2006 Atlantic/Rhino compilation (8122-77625-2) is something of a lost gem in itself - as it seems to have gone largely unnoticed...
Here's a detailed breakdown (49:56 minutes): 1. Can't Stop A Man In Love - WILSON PICKETT (Recorded February 1972, Previously Unreleased) 2. How Does It Feel - BOBBY WOMACK (February 1967, B-side of the USA 7" single "Find Me Somebody" on Atlantic 2388) 3. You Left The Water Running - SAM & DAVE (Recorded July 1969, a Previously Unreleased track 1st issued on the "Sweat `N' Soul Anthology" CD set in 1993) 4. Rome (Wasn't Built In A Day) - ARTHUR CONLEY (Recorded June 1967, Previously Unreleased) 5. Book Of Memories - PERCY WIGGINS (1967 USA 7" single on Atco 6479) [A?] 6. That's How It Feels - THE SOUL CLAN [feat Arthur Conley, Ben E. King, Solomon Burke, Don Covay and Joe Tex] (June 1968 USA 7" single, B-side to "Soul Meeting" on Atco 2530) 7. I Love You More Than Words Can Say - OTIS REDDING (March 1967 USA 7" single on Volt 146 [A]) 8. Baby, Baby, Baby - PERCY SLEDGE (Recorded September 1969, Previously Unreleased cover of the Aretha Franklin song) 9. Hold On - JAMES CARR (May 1971 USA 7" single on Atlantic 2803 [A]) (His lone single on Atlantic) 10. Pouring Water On A Drowning Man - OTIS CLAY (April 1970 USA 7" single on Cotillion 44068 [A]) 11. Lovebones - MIGHTY SAM (January 1970 USA 7" single, B-side of "I've Got Enough Heartaches") 12. The Love Of My Woman - DARRELL BANKS (1968 USA 7" single on Cotillion 44006, B-side to "I Wanna Go Home") 13. Coldest Days Of My Life - WALTER JACKSON (1970 USA 7" single on Cotillion 44077, B-side to "Bless You") 14. Whiter Shade Of Pale - R.B. GREAVES (November 1970 USA 7" single on Atco 6789 [A]) 15. Change With The Seasons - CARL HALL (1972 USA 7" single on Atlantic 2856, B-side to "Need Somebody To Love") 16. What A Woman Really Means - DONNY HATHAWAY (Recorded January 1973, "Extension Of A Man" Album Outtake, Previously Unreleased) The compilation is produced by DAVID NATHAN who also does the informative and affectionate liner notes - with the remastering done by long-time tape maestro and Rhino associate DAN HERSCH. Being from differing time frames, the sound ranges from very good (R.B. Greaves' rare cover of the Procol Harum classic "A Whiter Shade Of Pale") to full on fantastic (Otis Redding's lovely ballad "I Love You More Than Words Can say" is beautifully clear). As you see from the track list above, there are some previously unreleased songs, rare non-album B-sides and rarities like the one-off single James Carr did for the label. The choices are clever (many first time on CD) and heavy on ballads, which I personally like. "Book Of Memories" is a lovely organ-driven slow song (lyrics above) while The Chi-Lites would redo Eugene Record's "The Coldest Days Of My Life" to great effect on Brunswick in 1972. Besides - any hint of a new Donny Hathaway track and I have to own it... On the downside, the playing time is a bit short and you can hear why some of the unearthed tracks were unreleased - they're good, just not great. But, for Atlantic fans and lovers of soul, this is a little sweetheart of a compilation - and after a few listens, even the lesser tracks have grown on me. To sum up - a tasty little set then - and I was so impressed, I bought it's 16-track companion "Atlantic Unearthed: Soul Sisters" straight after it... Recommended.

Rare soul music gems from the vaults of Atlantic Records.,
By Josh P. - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Atlantic Unearthed - Soul Brothers (Audio CD)
Atlantic Records was one of the country's leading record companies in rhythm & blues and soul music. Here, in collaboration with Rhino Records, 16 rare tunes are presented froim artists like Wilson Pickett, Sam & Dave, Otis Redding, Percy Sledge, Donny Hathaway, Arthur Conley, plus some rarely heard artists as well. Some of these songs have never made it past being only released on the original 45, and others have never been heard before, period. These songs come from about 1967-1974; one of the last of the golden ages at Atlantic. This disc runs about 50 minutes, but is very enjoyable. Definitely worth hearing, because it's not something you'd hear every day. One listen to the whole thing, and you'd be asking why some of these songs never saw the light of day again...until now!
Wilson Pickett: Can't Stop a Man In Love Lots of energy and a good beat in this one. The background vocalists are good. Bobby Womack: How Does It Feel The organ and bass make this song; good beat to it. Sam & Dave: You Left the Water Running Good funky stuff from these guys; great drumbeat. Arthur Conley: Rome Wasn't Built In A Day Seminal track featuring a sharp horn line at the beginning and near the end of the song. Percy Wiggins: Book of Memories This would have been a good hit; nice easy soul ballad with a very audible classic sounding bass line. The Soul Clan: That's How It Feels Dynamite soul talents Arthur Conley, Ben E. King, Solomon Burke, Don Covay and Joe Tex team up to deliver this very heartfelt song. Otis Redding: I Love You More Than Words Can Say What's a soul collection without Big O? There'd be something wrong with any woman who can't feel this guy's heartwrenching plea. Percy Sledge: Baby, Baby, Baby Percy does a beautiful job with this organ-drenched rendition of the Aretha Franklin ballad. It features a good horn part in place of the backing vocals. James Carr: Hold On His only Atlantic single is a moderate tempo ballad that is as every bit as touching. Otis Clay: Pouring Water on a Drowning Man Have mercy! This guy's telling it like it is; passionate soulful performance on this one. Mighty Sam: Lovebones Still has that Johnnie Taylor spirit about it. Great organ parts and solos. Listen as he compliments his fellow Atlantic artists near the end. Darrell Banks: The Love of My Woman Confident sounding uptempo number from thsi rarely heard artist. Walter Jackson: Coldest Days of My Life: Beautiful slow, soul ballad that features a great bass guitar part especially during the chorus part. Love how the backing vocals spice up this song well. R.B. Greaves: Whiter Shade of Pale Neat B Major-keyed rendition of this classic song featuring a terrific organ part and backing vocals. Carl Hall: Change With the Seasons. Can this guy belt it out! As ultra-soulful as it get can possibly get. Donny Hathaway: What A Woman Really Means Sounds very modern and really way ahead of its time. Listen to Donny's vocal stylings and how the male backing vocals sound and you'll know. Be sure to check out the "Soul Sisters" volume as well. For fans of classic soul, it's a must! 1 of 1 people found the following review helpful:

Mixed bag with some good stuff,
By Andre M. "brnn64" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Atlantic Unearthed - Soul Brothers (Audio CD)
I'm usually a big fan of underground, little-known soul that didn't get the airplay it deserved the first time around. I would recommend at least listening to this one before buying.
Much of this is just okay, but there are a few exceptional tunes. The unreleased "What a Woman Really Means" by the legendary Donny Hathaway makes you wonder why this was not released to the public the first time around. The Soul Clan (Arthur Conely, Don Covay, Joe tex, Ben. E. King, and Solomon Burke), the rare R&b Supergroup, appear in one of their only two recordings "That's How It Feels," as each takes their turn singing the saddest stories they could think of (their other release, the more upbeat "Soul Meeting," appears on Rhino's Solomon Burke collection). James Carr, another undeground legend, appears in one tune, and an amazingly unknown Carl Hall sings a fantastic number that never appears on "oldies" stations, as is the case with Percy Sledge's "Baby Baby baby." Why? I don't know, but at least you can buy this stuff here.
