Unforgivable Lapse by Greedy Record Company

"Typical of the recording business... they take something as sacred as the voice of the great Lou Rawls and then try to compromise it with a shoddy product like this one. First of all, Lou's "Greatest Hits" aren't here, and then, sure enough, the legendary "Dead End Street" isn't even included, although it's on the label and track listing. Is Mike Curb still alive?



Recommended instead: "Stormy Monday""

Bad track selection?

"During the mid to late seventies, Lou Rawls, the voice of cool smooth soul, bought us the hits of "you'll never find another love" and "lady love". I can't believe that out of the many Rawls discs on here, that there is not one compilation that contains both these hits, not even one of them. Big Red Cross for Curb / M C A / B M G ?. I guess the people responsible for his catalogue will score it better next time."

Caveat Emptor

"First off, this is a budget priced CD from Rawls' early work (no 70's hits,) which would be fine because it's fairly cheap and has classics like "Your Good Thing..." and "Love is a Hurtin' Thing."



What absolutely cannot be excused is the fact that neither "Dead End Street" nor it's monologue are actually on this CD. This is despite the front cover, back cover, CD label and the liner notes (TWICE!)



Whatever label bosses were responsible for this rip-off should never work in the industry again. Period. Rawls deserves better."
