Only Missing the Liner Notes

(4 out of 5 stars)
"This 3 CD set boasts a similar lineup of songs as the 2 disc set IMMEDIATE PLEASURE, but goes a bit deeper than just the singles released by the label. From top to bottom, this is a great set of music and a must for any mod and northern soul fan. Highlights include a great sitar version of Chris Farlowe's superb "Moanin'", The Fleur de Lys' "So Come On" and P.P. Arnold's "Angel of the Morning" that beats the heck out of any version recorded of it since. Add to that plenty of cuts from label stars The Small Faces, and the then-pop idols Amen Corner, and you've got yourself a great afternoon of listening pleasure.
The only drawback to this collection is the complete lack of liner notes. In this sense, the IMMEDIATE PLEASURE set has the upper hand, because it is filled with great info on the artists, whereas you're pretty much flying blind with this set."
