VA - The Complete FAME Singles Vol 1 1964-67 [2014] (2 x CD's)

The Muscle Shoals music scene, and its pioneer Rick Hall, have received a lot of attention recently. The Muscle Shoals documentary film devoted a great deal of coverage to Hall’s work and in January 2014 the Grammy committee presented him with a Special Merit award. Only a man with such great talent could have made a one-track country town in Alabamaan important centre of the American recording industry. As a tribute to his outstanding legacy, we are releasing the first volume in our “The Complete Fame Singles” series. (Ace)

I can't say enough good about this 2-CD set from Ace. The label already has a great reputation, and this release will only add to that. A single release with the "A" sides of the 26 singles would have been welcome, but thank goodness Ace didn't do that, because most of the "B" sides are as good, if not better, than the "A" sides. I was familiar with Jimmy Hughes, Arthur Conley, and Clarence Carter, but I had no idea what I had missed by not hearing the other 9 artists featured here. Of the 52 tracks featured on this release, I can safely say there are 52 fantastic recordings. This may very well be my favorite Ace release yet. Highly recommended! I can hardly wait for Vols. 2 and 3 to get released. (Amazon)
