laviolet 16th Nov 2014		CD Album Irma Thomas - Full Time Woman (2014)	PhilMH, Irma agrees. As far as she's concerned, the "lost" album should have stayed lost. She didn't even know about the disc until asked about it at a record store. Atlantic was trying to make her sound like Diana Ross. Big mistake. The first three tracks, produced by Wardell Quezergue, are by far the best on the disc. See more on Irma's reaction here.
laviolet 8th Nov 2014		CD Album Irma Thomas - Soul Queen Of New Orleans (2011)	Charly CD's often get knocked for sound quality, but somehow they find photographs I've never seen before. This CD is a case in point.
laviolet 7th Oct 2014		CD Album Aaron Neville - For The Good Times: The Allen Toussaint Sessions (2014)	Content was apparently changed at last minute. Bill Dahl's notes reference two tracks not on CD; front blurb says "25 Classic Tracks" but disc actually contains 22. Lineup on back is correct. Record on cover is either photoshopped or bootlegged since "Hercules" never appeared on Sansu. Tracks 1-14 are both sides of all Neville singles released between 1968 and 1977; see discography on 45cat. "Hercules" and "Mojo Hannah" appear in the now common alternate versions with different mixes from the original singles. "Tell It Like It Is" is a 1976 re-recording in the style of which Neville typically performs the song.
laviolet 6th Oct 2014		CD Album Various Artists - The Deesu Records Story (2014)	The name "Deesu" comes from the French "dix sous," meaning "ten cents." Warren Lee's "Star Revue" appears with an extended ending. Instead of fading out at 2:20 like the original single, it continues to 2:58. Sound quality on most tracks is as on previous releases; that is, often murky since masters are long lost. Notes by Bill Dahl are good, but booklet contains no release dates or composer information; see entries for individual singles on 45cat. Eldridge Holmes tracks "Now That I've Lost You," "Where Is Love," and "A Love Problem" are Toussaint-Sehorn productions released on Decca.
