Product Description

CD Description

* This is the first of two packages that between them will anthologise the complete Fame recordings of pioneering soul man, Jimmy Hughes.

* The two CDs will include everything that Jimmy cut for Fame between 1962 and 1967, and will premiere many previously rare and unissued gems from the Fame vaults.

* "Steal Away" covers the first phase of Jimmy's career, from the time when Fame was distributed by Vee-Jay Records. His complete original "Steal Away" album is followed by six rare single-only sides and four stunning unissued tracks, all recorded at Fame's studios in Muscle Shoals.

* These recordings form a vital part of the start of southern soul.

5.0 out of 5 stars Don'T Miss This One !!!, 10 Oct 2009

This review is from: Steal Away-The Early Recordings (Audio CD)
Having known about ' Steal Away ' for several years but never having heard it I was keen to listen to it and other tracks recorded by this mostly overlooked soul artist. Was I disappointed - no, sir the exact opposite ! What a great singer and a superb selection of songs on this terrific cd - and there's more to come - a second cd including all his remaining recordings is due to be released in 2010 - can't wait ! If you like southern soul music then even if you haven't heard of Jimmy, just buy it - you'll be glad you did !

5.0 out of 5 stars perfect, 30 Oct 2009
This review is from: Steal Away-The Early Recordings (Audio CD)
very nice music. I knew Jimmy Hughes for spare tracks in compilations, and I loved his voice - rich emotion. Now I have got a full CD of his early work, where he's already givng the best of himself. Magnificent music!

5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing FAME artist, 3 Dec 2009
By B. Margolis - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Steal Away-The Early Recordings (Audio CD)
In 1962, right on the heels of Rick Hall's first R&B star, Arthur Alexander, a single by Jimmy Hughes was leased to Guyden. The single "I'm Qualified" b/w "My Loving Time" was a fair regional hit, got airplay in the South, but did not chart. Jamie/Guyden chose not to issue a follow-up (one of those follow-up tracks are one of the 4 previously unreleased gems here).

Next was a very rare single 'Everybody Let's Dance" b/w "You Might As Well Forget Him" on Fame, distributed by Vee Jay. It didn't sell and the B side is rare. Both are included here.

Then "Steal Away" was issued and was a huge hit in 1964 (reaching #2 on Cashbox's R&B chart - there was no Billboard chart in 1964). That huge hit prompted the Vee Jay album (tracks 1-12 here).

Additional tracks are the B side of 'Steal Away", and the last single Vee Jay distributed.

All of the 22 tracks are beautiful, clean mono and worth your attention.
