Thanks PeaceNHarmony.
Welcome! Are you an Okeh man? I love that label and its artists so this will be a definite buy for me.Quote:

Here's expanded information about this release via: The Second Disc

We got a similar 16 track LP way back in the mid 70's ...

This new release is 53 tracks!
Really?wow that's real nice, i've always felt that major lance was somewhat overlooked in the annals of soul singers but he had a very unique sound and most of his work is very good even after his okeh period...stay away from me-since i lost my baby"s love-follow the leader-girl come on home..just to name a few..major lance forever!!
I bought it. I also have that album that John posted..and that double CD pack released a few years ago.

The Major will always have a place in UK fan's affections
...Along with Jackie Lee and J.J. Barnes , the booming rare soul scene of the early 70s we're playing their tunes at all venues.
I've read that the major was very popular in the uk,cool.
Might treat myself to this..got the previous double but it's good value ....
While we're on the subject,what's your favorite major tune? For me it's[rhythm].
I've got every track apart from track 18 disc 2 "I" so made my own version & not much point in buying, nice to see it finally get a release though.
It has to be "You don't want me more"...an all time favourite.Quote:
