 I think the typo on "Killing Me Softly With His Song" came from Discogs; there are four entries there for different editions of the original LP, and they all had that title entered incorrectly, even though the title was correct on all the sleeves and labels!

This is a rather confusing collection of Junior Walker's 1970s LP releases that might have been more precisely called "A Reissue Of The Six LPs By Junior Walker That Were Released In The '70s In The UK credited to "Junior Walker & The All Stars".

I shall elaborate ….. around 1975/6 Motown dropped the "All Stars" part of "Junior Walker & The All Stars" so what doesn't get included in here are Junior Walker's last three US released '70s Motown LPs "Sax Appeal", "Whopper, Bopper, Show Stopper" and "Smooth", which used only his name, but what does get included is his withdrawn US LP "Jr. Walker & The All Stars" that did get a UK release in 1974 and which contained some tracks that turned up eventually on the aforementioned omitted "Junior Walker" LPs.

To add to the confusion, the eagle-eyed may notice that the label scans of the final LP, "Hot Shot" show that the tracks were credited simply to Jr. Walker (at least in The USA) even though the cover showed the full name.

So what we have here isn't (from a USA point of view) exactly what the collection's title would suggest but (from a UK point of view) probably is!!

Anyway, having explained that (I hope) it's on to the music, which covers Junior Walker's output from 1970 to 1975, lots of hits in here such as "Do You See My Love For You Growing", "Walk In The Night", "Take Me Girl I'm Ready", "Way Back Home", his "Northern Soul" biggie "I Ain't Going Nowhere", lots of instrumental versions of hits from other artists (his 1974 UK only LP is remarkably similar to what a lot of "Smooth Jazz" artists were producing in the early 2000s), lots of gruff vocals, some infectious funk workouts, plus guest appearances from Stevie Wonder and Thelma Houston. A large proportion of what is in here I've never previously owned so I for one am happy.

There are a couple of curiosities (typos?) in here … "Killing Me Softly With His Song" has become "Killing Me Softy With This Song" and "Until You Come Back Me (That's What I'm Gonna Do)" has become "Until You Come Back To Me (That's What I Gonna Do)", unlike on the original UK LP. Interestingly the artwork used for the "Peace & Understanding" LP combines The US labels with The UK cover.

There is also a very thorough and extremely interesting essay by Sharon Davis in the booklet that covers the early life of Autry DeWalt (aka Junior Walker), explains how he became known as Junior Walker, and chronicles his career throughout his years at Motown and up to his death in 1995.

Great Stuff!!
