CD Reviews

Definitely the early years before the best years, however...
J. Batchelor | Memphis, TN USA | 03/17/2006
(3 out of 5 stars)

"......there are about six or seven tracks that will capture your attention. In my opinion, the compilations' best tracks are "Your'e the Only Bargain I've Got", "Your Love Controls Me", "Will You Be There?", "Taster of the Honey (Not the Keeper of the Bee)", "I Need You", "I Turn To You", "The Proof is in the Pudding" and "Man on the Take".



Mostly, the album is comprised of songs that sound like "session" and studio tracks not intended for official release on an LP, but the ones I named could've easily fit any early (or later) works by the ladies.



What this peak into the early years does do, however, is offer devoted fans a taste of what preceded the more polished tracks in later years. In my opinion, it's a "must-have" for any long-time fan of the Jones Girls."
