商品の説明
Three gals and a guy from New York, The Exciters were one of the most fabulously soulful acts to emerge from the 1960s girl group explosion, thanks in part to Brenda Reid, their lulu of a lead vocalist. The group's early 60s recordings have been reissued in recent times. This collection spotlights their subsequent more uptown sides for the Bang, Shout and RCA labels.
The Exciters had a huge hit with “Tell Him,” which is not included here. Find it - the first time country singer Dusty Springfield it, she left country forever and moved into soul music. As she should have.
But the songs listed here are pretty great, including “A Little Bit Of Soap,” which is a solid version of a much-covered 60s song. I was too young when this song was released to appreciate how excellent it is. Awesome vocal, and the lyrics are intelligent and definitely fierce. It's likely the definitive version of the song. And please, don’t give up on American democracy. Please. The election this November will decide the future of our country like no other.
“You Got Love” and “Soul Motion” were unfamiliar to me back in the day, but not anymore — they’re pretty excellent. As is “Movin' Too Slow,” a powerful, upbeat song about a woman's defiant stand against a man who’s treated her like dirt. Great stuff, y'all.
Espectacular edición por parte de "Kent Soul". The Exciters, Brenda Reid, Herb Rooney, Carolyn Johnson y Lillian Walker, grupo formado en lo 60's,trabajo que agrupa las grabaciones entre 1960 y 1969 en las compañias Shout, Bang y Rca, con un total de 21 temas, remezclados y editados con un sonido genial y donde podemos apreciar el potencial del grupo. Soul en estado puro, grandes armonias y todo ello gracias al trabajo impecable de revisión de ACE Records (como viene siendo habitual por parte de esta Label). Totalmente recomendable.
Thought i had got to the point of thinking i had got all the Girl Group material i could find, however this CD is brilliant..well worth the purchase ..some great tracks.. Delighted with it
This is a "must-have" collection for any Exciters, girl group, or Northern Soul fan. Brenda Reid's soulful voice teamed with the strong harmony of her backup singers proved that there was still life in the group after their pop hit "Tell Him".
Although I throughly enjoy every track in this collection, my all time favorite songs are "Always" and the provacative, (for its time), "Movin too Slow."
