"Mary Wells totally brilliant sixties output are all Essential must have recordings for anyone who loves the greatest classic soul singers and none was finer than the smooth, sophisicated and deeply passionate Mary Wells as this outstanding collection shows...and The Jubilee Sessions are extremely loose and funky and differ greatly from Mary's lushly romantic 20th Century Fox or pop ear candy classic Motown recordings and this incredibly moving collection has two complete LP's plus seven "no filler" bonus tracks...filled with wildly infections and wonderfully rhythmic original compositions that should have resulted in numerous huge chart hits plus great versions of solid soul classics such as the cooking "Apples, Peaches, Pumpkin Pie" and a riveting "Stag-O-Lee" and add to this great mix top contemporary songs such as a mesmerizing "Come Together", a deeply moving "Leaving On A Jet Plane", a brilliant "500 Miles" and you have a tour-de-force collection that is a keeper to be enjoyed over and over with the legendary Mary Wells in peak form...get this magnificent Import while it is still available as classics such as this soar in value when they become scarce! Mary Wells is one of the all time greats and this amazing beautifully remastered must have collection features a hot remake of her own "Bye Bye Baby" that outdoes the great original...thank you Mary Wells for years of sublime brilliance and we miss you alot!"
