Product Description
CD Description
* Kent's 2006 Spencer Wiggins compilation put the spotlight on one of Southern soul's great lost figures. That gathered together his recordings for the Goldwax label between late 1965 and early 1969 and was a critical and commercial success, making available for the first time in an eternity a set of great recordings. Since then Kent have been slowly piecing together this companion set. These are his later recordings, made at Fame and Sounds Of Memphis and of the 23-tracks, 11 are previously unreleased and another seven have never been available on a legitimate CD.
* All six of the recordings made at the legendary Fame studio in Muscle Shoals, Alabama for his last Goldwax session are here. Produced by Goldwax owner Quinton Claunch, they were sold, along with Spencer's contract, to Fame owner Rick Hall. They include the legendary Northern soul stomper `Let's Talk It Over' and a beautiful take on the soul classic `Cry To Me'. Through access to the Fame archives Kent are able to present these in stereo for the first time.
* The archive has also thrown up some amazing unreleased numbers, including a brilliant version of Bettye Swann's `Make Me Yours', the future floor-filler `This Time' and the most in-demand number of the moment on the rare soul scene, `I'm At The Breaking Point'. We also have both sides of Spencer's two singles for the Fame label, including a fabulous version of `I'd Rather Go Blind' which showcases his voice to perfection. Our final recordings are the six sides he recorded back in Memphis for the Sounds Of Memphis label, including the Southern soul masterpiece `I Can't Be Satisfied' and three numbers including `Feed The Flame' which have never seen official release before.
* The package includes plenty of exclusive pictures and an in-depth note, written with Spencer's full collaboration, including a new interview with the artist.

Why did it take so long?,
By Standard Poodle - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Feed the Flame: the Fame & XL Recordings (Audio CD)
Hopefully the previous Ace release has brought Spencer the recognition he is due. If you bought that one, you have to get this - no questions. This is more deep soul from Wiggins, and the stompers here are great too. Classic bands in the Memphis/Muscle Shoals vein, the Fame/Goldwax/Sounds of Memphis productions, a singer in the grand soul tradition - it adds up to an other winner from Ace and a must-have for real soul fans. I will refrain from a track-by-track review, as any Southern Soul fan will know right off the bat what this is about. If, somehow, a "rookie" finds this listing and review, suffice it to say that if you like: Wilson Pickett; James Carr; Otis Redding; etc., then you have found a new item for your collection. Much of this was unreleased and begs the question why? I cannot help but think that if Spencer had been signed to Atlantic he'd be considered in the same league as Pickett and company, and would probably be in the Rock n' Roll Hall of Fame by now. Undeservedly obscure; unhesitatingly recommended. As a last note, Ace has done its usual all-out production job here; no cutting corners.
