Christmas has come early for fans of Phyllis Hyman as David Nathan's Soul
Music label (only mentioned yesterday with the compilation release, although it's not currently listed on SoulMusic.com), are
releasing all of Phyllis Hyman's studio albums as a 9 CD boxset, most of
them are the expanded edition.
The price is a mere £39.99 (less than
£4.50 per album or 35p a track (113 tracks) - you couldn't even buy the digital versions for that!)
and is due 30 Jul 2021.
Full details, including tracklist, via link on image below where you can also pre-order.
Hyman actually released ten albums but her second, 'Sing A Song' was a non
US album, with all but three tracks appearing on 'Somewhere In My
Lifetime'. These three tracks are included in the expanded edition
of 'Somewhere In My Lifetime'.
I thought I'd previously posted a Discography on Phyllis Hyman but it looks like I never got around to posting it so where better than here and now with links to those available on Spotify to warm you up for purchase.

Despite being well known and respected, it may surprise you to learn that she
never had a Billboard Hot 100 entry in her entire career, she had three
bubbling under at 101 ('You Know How To Love Me' 1979), 102 ('Betcha By Golly
Wow' 1977 with Norman Connors) and 103 ('Loving You, Losing You' 1977). Only
four of her singles were Top 10 R&B and were none of the above.
She tragically took her own life on 30 Jun 1995 aged only 45 and only hours before
she was due to perform at the famous Apollo theatre in New York.
