Product Description
CD Description
During the decade that bridged the first flowering of rock'n'roll and the rise of self-sufficient writer-performers such as Bob Dylan and the Beatles, the record charts were dominated by artists who, in the main, did not write their own material. At this time an exciting crop of talented young songwriters began to emerge.
Over the last couple of years Ace have built up an impressive series of songwriter-based compilations focusing on the work of Burt Bacharach, Jackie DeShannon, Randy Newman and the Leiber & Stoller, Pomus & Shuman, Greenwich & Barry, Mann & Weil and Goffin & King teams.
"Honey & Wine" is Ace Records' second foray into the songbook of Gerry Goffin and Carole King, one of the most lauded songwriting partnerships of all-time. As with the earlier volume, the set includes familiar hits such as Maxine Brown's `Oh No Not My Baby', the Drifters' `Up On The Roof' and Gene McDaniels' `Point Of No Return', overlooked gems (Chuck Jackson's `I Need You', Jan & Dean's `The Best Friend I Ever Had' and `I Happen To Love You' by the Myddle Class, to name just three and new-to-CD rarities `Stage Door' by Peter James, `They're Jealous Of Me' by Connie Stevens and Carolyn Daye's `A Long Way To Be Happy'.
Compilation and notes by Mick Patrick and Tony Rounce

Format:Audio CD
This is the second ACE Volume of Carol King and Gerry Goffin's work and a part of the label's remarkable series on songwriters that has included Mann and Weill, Randy Newman and Jackie DeShannon.
It follows what has evolved into an established and wonderful formula.
A handful of well known, oustanding hits, some unreleased or obscure and unheard gems, and some unexpected and illuminative alternatives to well known tracks.
The CD features some particularly enjoyable soul sides, with tracks from Ben E King, perhaps the best interpreter of their material, Chuck Jackson and Freddie Scott from the boys, Maxine Brown, the Shirelles and a new (to me) release of a classic soul ballad by Tammie Montgomery (soon to be Terrell) from the girls. Thios is not to take away any credit from some fine pop sides from Gene Pitney, ther Turtles and Marianne Faithfull.
As always the sleeve notes are detailed and well researched, with references to how the tracks made their way from demo to symphony, and the sound is excellent.
Keep it going ACE, Van McCoy next?

Actually only two (out of 26) tracks are available on other Ace CDs (Chuck Jackson and Maxine Brown). Apart from that the only other 'duplication' is the Bertell Dache track which Ace released as a stereo alt on 'The Answer to Everything'.

The second selection of songs by Goffin and King. I grade number one with six stars. Big salute to ACE Records for this type of selections.
