Product Description

CD Description
Say what you will about Traffic, Blind Faith, and his ongoing solo career, but when Steve Winwood leaves this earth, the song every radio and TV station will play in his memory will be "Gimme Some Lovin'". And for good reason: this single is a stone classic, the best two-and-a-half minutes British R&B ever produced, and yes, that includes the early singles by the Rolling Stones.
The amazing thing was not that this skinny, spotty 16-year-old from the Midlands sounded just like Ray Charles, but that Winwood and his mates nearly matched the potency of that single not once, but twice, with thestunning "I'm A Man" and the ska-inflected burner "Keep On Runnin'". All three singles are the highlights of this 15-song compilation, which features b-sides, rarities, and solid album tracks alongside all of the group's magnificent mid '60s singles.

4.0 out of 5 stars mediocre sound, 28 Feb 2005
I'd like to give it five stars because of the songs but I was a little disappointed by the sound quality. There's a little phasing in the higher pitches. I remember the sound quality of the records was much better. This here sounds like a Chinese bootleg (recorded from tape then burnt on cd). I suggest that you listen to this cd first before you buy it. Or look for a Best-of compilation where the songs have been remastered. Anyway, if you have a good stereo device, you can adjust the sound with your qualizer. Then this cd will still rock.

3.0 out of 5 stars Buy 'Eight Gigs A Week' instead, 31 Mar 2008
By Keith Randall (Isle of Man, U.K.) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
The double CD 'Eight Gigs A Week' may be twice the price or more than this single CD, but that should not be a consideration if you like this music. The sound on this single CD is inferior to the pristine mono of the original master tapes which were utilised for the double CD. And you get the correct versions of the songs, without the overdubbed parts which were considered necessary for the American market.

Take this advice from me, as someone who bought the stuff on vinyl and enjoyed every minute of wearing it out!

5.0 out of 5 stars AWESOME!, 16 Mar 2004
If you don't already know 'Keep on Running' Somebody Help Me' and 'Gimme Somma Loving', then you really ought to get out more! Stand out track for me though is 'I'm a Man'. The intro sounds remarkably like a sample (remember this was 1965 when such things didn't exist!) and Stevie Winwood's Hammond organ and vocals are sublime.

The Spencer Davis Group's first incarnation was definitely one of the best blue-eyed soul groups of all time. Shame they weren't together a while longer, although you do have this tasty morsel to ease the pain of longing.

Love Sam
