Product Description
CD Description
* Freddie Hughes had one of the great falsetto soul voices of the era - pleading, celebratory, and always dripping with soul. The Oakland-based artist was popular in his home region of the Bay Area but did not achieve national recognition until the sweet soul ballad `Send My Baby Back' was an R&B smash in 1968.
* On the hindlegs of the hit, Wand Records commissioned an album, which has subsequently become one of the most sought-after soul long players of the era. Stuffed with classy performances such as the uptown ballad `He's No Good' and northern fave `We Gotta Keep On', the album demonstrates the versatility of Hughes remarkable talent.
* The album itself is a stone classic gem, but Kent have added a brace of additional tracks that further illustrate Hughes range, and give some glimpse of his R&B roots in the San Francisco music scene. These range from the non-LP single `My Baby Came Back' to the work of Hughes' incredible earlier duos: the Soul Brothers with Ken Pleasants, where we debut many unissued gems; and the Casanova II with Wiley Trass that give Sam & Dave a run for their money on their two rare singles for Early Bird.
* With an informative booklet, this long overdue official reissue will be a treat for vintage soul fans of all shapes and sizes.

I had not heard to much about this record but it is a very good.
I cannot believe that this has taken since 1969 to be officially released on cd. I hope that maybe a LP I had in 1969 I'll pick a Rose for my Rose on Tamla Motown which I foolishly got rid of may one day be released on CD maybe by Hip O Select. Once again the speed of Delivery from Amazon was excellent. Well done.

An extremely rare album worthy of a reappraisal.
12 Jun 2010
We must thank the people at Kent Records for reissuing this extremely rare album on CD (the original LP is extremely rare and has sold for up to $300.00 on Ebay). Freddie Hughes may have been popular only in the San Francisco Bay Area but he was a very fine Soul singer who deserved a better fate and this CD reissue will (hopefully) help him get it. From a musical standpoint, this album offers great variety as influences of Motown, Stax and Chicago Soul are evident throughout all of the original LP's 12 songs but Hughes' powerful and emotive vocals are the real star of the show. The bonus tracks are by no means bad but are somewhat pale in comparison to those of the original LP but that's (honestly) no reason to skip them. The sound quality is not uniformly good on all tracks but that's (probably) a minor issue when considering just how rare the material is. Enjoy!
