Product Description
CD Description
* Candi Staton's recording's for Fame Records are some of the most essential moments in Southern Soul's history. For the first time ever all 48 of the tracks she made for Rick Hall's label between 1969 and 1974 are together in one place. 22 have never been on CD before and 12 are previously unreleased.
* This collection contains 12 R&B chart hits, four of which went Top 10, including her peerless version of Tammy Wynette's `Stand By Your Man'. Kent have also included every track from her three albums released on Fame.
* This is the first time that Candi's Fame recordings have been reissued by anyone with access to the Fame Studios tape archive. This allows Kent to present everything in stunning sound as well as the previously unreleased tracks which are all of a high quality. In the ballad `We Had It All' and the dancer `One More Hurt' Kent are introducing new classics to her canon, some of which she will be incorporating into the set she will perform on her upcoming European tour.
* The booklet has an extensive note based on exclusive interviews with Candi and producer Rick Hall as well as many of the musicians involved. Access to Fame's own photo archive means that Kent are able to include many wonderful and previously unseen photos of Candi.

A few years back Honest John's put out a splendid CD featuring some of Candi's Fame material. It was an essential purchase and is much tresured.
Now that superb compilation has been trumped by this wonderful set, featuring all of Candi's standout recordings with Rick Hall in the late 60's/early 70's. Amazingly some of this material hasn't been released before, which you will find hard to comprehend given the quality.
Southern Soul music really doesn't get much better than this and anyone with a love of this style will want to add this to their collection.
The music is a sublime confection of great songs, brilliant musicianship, masterful production and, of course, vocals of the very highest order.
Buy it.

Having for years listened to James Browns funky divas and fine female singers such Aretha franklin, Etta James, Chaka Khan, Bettye LaVette, Mavis Staples ... (the list goes on) and then one day come across a phenomenal female voice like Candi's is just indescribable. She was certainly outstanding in those days! Notice btw that Elvis wrote her a thank you letter for her fine version of his hit "In the ghetto". This 2cd album makes a natural replacement for Honest John's 27 track compilation: "Candi Staton". So don't be sad if you own that album already, simply give it away to someone who likes soul music. You won't regret this purchase since the majority of new released track are just as GREAT as the ones we knew already.

My star rating is for people who do not already own half of the tracks, having not bought the earlier compilation on Honest John. That compilation is excellent and I have no reason to think this one will not be at least as good as a lot of the tracks are exactly the same. Having bought the earlier compilation myself, a very subjective rating would be no stars at all. It is great that in recent years so much rare, unreleased, and unrecognized material is being released. However at times I feel the true fan is taken for ride with the same material issued time and again with different extras added to persuade them to buy again and again. Perhaps this is a bad example to pick on as Kent have done a marvelous job over the years making soul available in high quality and at a reasonable cost. However, my first reaction on seeing this release was 'not again'. Do I buy the tracks I already own again in the hope that the extras are of a similar quality and justify paying the price again? Will I feel cheated because the best is what I own already? Time will tell. However, if you do not have the earlier compilation, and have any interest at all in soul music, then you should buy this.
