Impeccable, lovely, gal-trio soul, from mid-sixties New York City, including early sides as the Lovejoys — take it easy, Wackies fans — solo recordings by lead singer Leola Jiles, and several fine unissued sides.

Numerous rarities and unissued gems, together with all her best sides: the essential Maxine Brown.

Twenty-six tracks, only two of them previously released: romping stomping early Detroit soul. Excellent notes, with comments this year from member Joe Billingslea, and rare photos.

This time coupled with an unedited version of his crossover modern dancer It’s No Mistake.

Hip dance sides and Lowrider ballads from Darrow’s Chicago years.
From his career-opening smash The Pain Gets A Little Deeper, via Northern dancefloor classics like My Young Misery, Infatuation and Gotta Draw The Line, and ballads like Sitting There That Night and My Judgement Day, through to the new social consciousness of Now Is The Time For Love, recorded in 1971 for his step-dad Johnnie Haygood’s Genna label.
