KLADD PÅ BOX OCH CD-SKIVOR(Se bilder)This 6 CD collection was packaged in a box designed to look like the type people used in the 1960's to carry their 45 rpm records in. Machine numbered on a sticker on top of the box out of at least 45,000 copies produced.. Each CD is printed with artwork resembling the labels Stax, Cadet, Atco, Motown, Tamla and Atlantic. They attach to a plastic insert that is shaped like a 45 rpm record that is then slipped into a cardboard ”record sleeve”. This collection comes with a 15 page booklet of liner notes and a box of 146 cards measuring 2.5” x 3.5” with a full color picture and brief biography of each artist.ALLA 6 CD-SKIVOR HAR SLITAGE OCH DIV.

DE ÄR PROVSPELADE OCH SPELAR OK (I MIN SPELARE)DET 16-SIDIGA HÄFTET ÄR SLITET OCH I DÅLIGT SKICKDE 146 KORTEN OCH LÅDAN ÄR I MKT FINT SKICKSix CDs and 144 songs of classic '60s soul, including selections by every major performer in the idiom (except for Sam Cooke and Sly Stone, who were unavailable for licensing reasons), as well as numerous influential minor performers, one-shot artists, and just plain unknowns. The music is classic, and the packaging is an event in itself, with the discs enclosed in a mock briefcase for carrying 45 singles, and trading cards for each song on the volume that have photos and trivia questions on front, and mini essays on the back. Yet it ultimately occupies a rather perplexing space on the collector's shelf. Anyone who's enough of a soul lover to fork over the dough for this production will no doubt have a good many of the tunes already, particularly the Hall of Fame hits like ”Sweet Soul Music,” ”(I Know) I'm Losing You,” ”Don't Make Me Over,” and ”La-La-Means I Love You.” There are numerous great rarities here -- Jay Wiggins' magnificent melancholy ballad ”Sad Girl,” and the rare original versions of ”Shake a Tail Feather” (the Five Du-Tones), ”Tainted Love” (Gloria Jones), ”Mustang Sally” (Sir Mack Rice), and ”Piece of My Heart” (Erma Franklin). Yet the tracks used to represent some superstars -- ”You've Been in Love Too Long” for Martha & the Vandellas, or ”Fly Me to the Moon” for Bobby Womack -- seem almost deliberately idiosyncratic, even though this method also yields underrated off-the-beaten-tracks by Ray Charles (”In the Heat of the Night”), Al Green (”Back Up Train”), and others. It's almost as if some guys stayed up several nights running trying to make the ultimate '60s soul party tape -- one which demonstrated both their impeccable taste and the depth of their record collection -- and got so carried away with the idea that a box set resulted. Like all well-made party tapes, the content is excellent, but the sum is neither a definitive '60s soul box (an impossible task in any case), nor one which offers quite enough lost classics to justify its hefty price tag for those who already have half or more of the tunes.
