Track List:
01 - The Voice Masters [1969] - Dance Right Into My Heart [Bamboo #BMB-113]
02 - Roscoe Shelton [1967] - You're The Dream [Sound Stage 7 #45-2587]

08 - Little Johnny Blair [1970] - Momma's Gone [House Of The Fox #HOF-5]
09 - Dorothie Berry [1968] - A Woman Needs A Good Man (Yes She Does) [USA #917]
10 - Ruby Winters [2022] - If Only We Had Met Sooner (Early & Jeffries Retouch) [Creative Soul #CS-1001]
The interesting one is Mill Evans' version of Nolan Chance's "Just Like The Weather" which has been know about for years but has never, until now, been released. A 7" single sided white label test press (believed to be by the Exodus label) is listed on Popsike which sold for just short of $1500 in March 2009. Top UK rare soul DJ Butch has been playing it from around 2010 so I 'suspect' that he may have been the buyer or bought it from the buyer.
There is another version by Ritchie Parker/Aaron Neville on a Constellation 10" acetate. The song was written by Richard Parker so perhaps the name was used to cover up that it was by Aaron Neville. The backing track was used on Denise LaSalle's first single, "Love Reputation", released on Tarpon/Chess in 1967
Ruby Winters version of Linda Jones' "If Only (We Had Met Sooner)" was originally released on a 1999 UK only compilation "The Best Of Ruby Winters" and then pressed on vinyl by Creative Soul last year. The retouch is, so far, unreleased but given the retouch was done by Early & Jeffries it may eventually be released on Sonic Wax?
