Al Green "The Hi Records Singles Collection" 3CD set [[Fat Possum UK) 11/9/2018

[Motown Eddie]

The story of Al Green's recordings at Hi Records is the story of a family learning to communicate. It's the story of blood brothers - Charles Leroy and Teenie Hodges - and the story of soul brothers - Albert Greene, Willie Mitchell, Hubby Mitchell and Howard Grimes. Plus a horn section. And backing vocalists. And strings and others too, including us - the audience - as we fall in love with the groove they fell into. This 3 CD set compiles together all of 26 singles, both A and B sides, that Al Green recorded for Hi from 1969 until 1978. Also included are five bonus tracks that have found huge favour among fans but did not originally feature as singles.

This looks great but I bought the 2 double cds of all his hi albums around 10 years ago. I assume there are no non album tracks in this collection?

This looks great but I bought the 2 double cds of all his hi albums around 10 years ago. I assume there are no non album tracks in this collection?

There's at least one track on this upcoming collection, "Strong As Death [[Sweet As Love)" [[CD2-track 14), that's a non LP B-Side. Originally the flip of the "Oh Me, Oh My [[Dreams In My Arms)" single in 1975, the song has appeared on Al Green compilations over the years.
