Singles A’s & B’s Vol.1 1964-1966

Shout! Records is delighted to present the first CD series to collate the singles recordings by Joe Tex from his hit years on the Dial label and their Atlantic licensee, chronologically sequenced, and featuring the A-side and B-side of each 45. On this, Volume One, covering the years 1964 to 1966.

Joe was already a veteran of a decade of recordings on King, Ace and earlier Dial releases when producer Buddy Killen took him to Muscle Shoals, Alabama, in October 1964 to record ‘Hold What You've Got'. The disc was a crossover smash hit, and the rest is history. Each of the 11 A-sides in this collection reached the R&B top 20 and the US national Hot 100, providing a lasting impression of infectious mix of humour and soul philosophy that graced the music of Joe Tex.

Although there have been numerous CD re-issues of Joe's music, all to date have been either selective ‘greatest hits' collections or have re-packaged various albums, so this is a ground-breaking ‘first' in chronicling the illustrious career of the man dubbed ‘The Clown Prince of Soul', Joe Tex.

First collection of Joe Tex singles in sequence of releases. Features all the A-sides and B-sides & 11 R&B top 20 hits including two chart-toppers. Each single was also a Billboard Hot 100 hit. Booklet features track by track annotation.

First On The Dial
		Joe Tex became a major name in soul music when his philosophical ballad Hold What You've Got took him into the US top 10 in early 1965; the first of some 30 hit singles and a dozen best-selling LPs during the next 15 years of his recording career on the Dial label up to the time of his death from a heart-attack in 1982. Joe recorded 10 singles for Dial under a different distribution deal prior to his breakthrough, a collectable mixture beat and ballads laced with his wry sense of humour and some fine songs typical of the Southern Soul style. These tracks are gathered here on CD for the first time, including Bloods Thicker Than Water, an in-demand item among Northern Soul fans, and his original version of Southern Soul classic Meet Me In Church. Shout Records also include in this CD a selection of hard-to find bonus tracks, which have been overlooked on other compilations, providing extra value for collectors. Mojo Magazine awarded a very respectable 3 stars to this CD.	Our Price: £9.95 click to see more
