Have you heard this one, Mr H. I got it at Stockton market. Brand new. 3CD's for £3. And I can't believe how many good tracks are on it. From early rock and roll stuff (Joe Turner 'Shake rattle and roll', Ruth Brown '5-10-15 hours) to some great soul stuff/ballads (King Curtis 'Memphis Soul Stew', Archie Bell and Drells 'Tighten Up' Brook Benton 'Rainy Night in Georgia'. Just makes you realise how important/inspirational people like A Ertegun were. Genuinely loved music. Most major label presidents now could be accountants.
