Hi, I don't think they were ever released as CDs. I suspect you are aware closest approximation is Monument of Soul expanded edition, 26 tracks, including most of the tracKs from those two albums, all at a daft (low) price.

I've not seen either album on compact disc. However, some tracks from Joe Simon's No Sad Songs album were included on an import compilation CD titled Chokin' Kind. I bought my copy on Amazon.com, a few years back.

Have you heard Oscar Toney Jr version of No Sad Song? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YjKn62h1R-I

Also, Joe re-recorded You are My Adorable One as Lord,You Are My Adorable One.

His gospel albums are excellent. If you have not heard them, his voice is exactly the same as in 1966!
