Interesting collection, but gosh.....as much as these guys did, couldn't this have been a multi-disc box set? Nice to see The Vibrations' song leading things off.......I always like that one.

Agree about the Vibrations track leading things off. I LOVE that track! Wonder if they'll use the stereo or mono mix.

I hear ya Dave; this could've been a multi-disc box set given how much Gamble & Huff had done for Soul Music. Maybe they'll do another volume if sales for this set are strong.

Same here. By the way, what's up with their documentary and book?
