I'm a sucker for these generous three disc compilations, I really am, and have been known to buy one even though I own particularly all of the tracks, but it's such a damn-good playlist.
With the newly released 'Our Generation', there were plenty of tunes which I didn't already have in my collection, and many great hits that I own many times over. The vast majority of the artists were definitely part of the mod scene from the '60s to the '80s, and so there is little in the way of filler, although Tom Jones wasn't an obvious choice, and neither was the Lulu single 'Love Loves to Love Love', which was never a great song, and even the lady herself doesn't care for it.
Predictably opening up disc one with The Who's hit 'My Generation', there is lots of good stuff across these three CDs from other contemporary '60s groups like The Yardbirds, The Foundations, Manfred Mann, as well as some excellent solo artists such as James Brown, Aretha Franklin, Marvin Gaye and Otis Redding (masters of soul music), and bands like The Jam and Dexys Midnight Runners, who carried on the mod scene sound in the '70s and' 80s.
If you're looking for a flavour of what this influential music was all about, 'Our Generation' will leave you in no doubt what it sounded like. This is one cool compilation which I enjoyed enormously. The sound quality on every track is great, and all 75 of them appear to be the originals. (Melody Maker)

B.B. King - Treasures Untold 1963-1968
180g heavyweight LP record including relatively unknown 14 hard blues tunes taken from his masterpieces and classics.
One of the most expensive box sets you'll ever hope to own – but a package that's totally worth it, too – as a huge document of the sublime early years of the great BB King! King hit the mainstream big in the late 60s with his classic recordings for ABC, and a lot more in the 70s for MCA – but for long before those years, he made some amazing music for the RPM and Kent Record labels – groundbreaking blues that not only showcased his incredible work on guitar, but also featured that sophisticated Memphis mode of the time – which often used fuller backings, and even some slight currents of jazz in the music too. And while some of BB's albums from the time have been reissued, this whopping box offers up all his albums from the period in their entirety – 3 O'Clock Blues, You Upset Me Baby, Sweet Little Angel, Please Accept My Love, My Sometime Baby, Rock Me Baby, and The Jungle – plus more discs that are filled with singles, rare tracks, alternates, and more – a total of 17 full CDs' worth of music! Plus, the box also comes with a vinyl LP – titled Treasures Untold, with lots more rare BB King material from the time – and also comes with a Japanese edition of the book The Arrival Of BB King by Charles Sawyer – plus more notes as well. Very limited – and very cool! © 1996-2016, Dusty Groove, Inc.

Bobby Patterson - How Do You Spell Love -The Paula Recordings 1971-73
Bobby Patterson's How Do You Spell Love? (The Paula Recordings 1971-1973) is a gritty 19-track collection of the Texas soul singer's '70s output recorded between 1971-1973 for Paula. He never had any hits, but Patterson's low-down delivery and the backing band's tough-as-nails sound deliver an enjoyable punch. He wrote most of the tunes here, focusing mainly on extracurricular affairs and their fallout. "Right On Jody" is an answer song to Johnnie Taylor's "Jody Got Your Girl and Gone," "One Ounce of Prevention" is a funky warning, "This Whole Funky World Is a Ghetto" is a harsh and strong protest song. Patterson's style is a kind of cross between the folksy style of Joe Tex and the smooth Southern sound of Luther Ingram. That is a mighty fine cross to bear. Sundazed and Ace have focused on the man's earlier recordings. If you dug those, you will find this set to be essential. Otherwise if you are a fan of early-'70s non-Philly soul, this is top-notch stuff. (Tim Sendra, Allmusic)

J.B. Lenoir - 1951- 1954 (Classics 5128)
At first listen, J.B. Lenoir might not impress. He was a rudimentary guitar player, generally using slow to midtempo Jimmy Reed-like blues progressions, and his voice was high-pitched and could waver at times, sometimes resembling a screech more than anything else. But first impressions can be deceiving. Lenoir was passionate and intelligent, with a strong personal and political agenda, and all these traits combine to make his body of work unlike any other player in the blues genre. This collection brings together his earliest recordings for JOB and his entire output for Parrot (the label to which he jumped in 1954), and includes his only national hit, the sublime "Mama Talk to Your Daughter," which hit the R&B charts in 1955, essentially functioning as Parrot's swan song. Everything here is wonderful, messy Chicago blues, and slickness is nowhere to be seen, having been replaced by wry, raw emotion. Starting in 1953 J.T. Brown began playing tenor sax on Lenoir's sides, and the addition helped define two of Lenoir's greatest songs, the harrowing "I'm in Korea" and the call-it-like-you-see-it "Eisenhower Blues," which caused a political stir when it was released and was subsequently withdrawn and replaced by "Tax Paying Blues," the exact same song with all references to the President removed. It still works, either way, and shows the level of Lenoir's commitment to his music. He was never satisfied with standard blues clichés, and as he matured as a writer, his songs displayed a kind of fierce awareness of the world around him that sets him apart from almost any other blues player of his day. There are several editions of Lenoir's JOB material on the market, but this one, because it adds in his great, late Parrot sides, is a better way to get them. (Steve Leggett, Allmusic)

J.B. Lenoir - 1955-1956 (Classics 5184)
Newcomers to his considerable legacy could be forgiven for questioning J.B. Lenoir's gender upon first hearing his rocking waxings. Lenoir's exceptionally high-pitched vocal range is a fooler, but it only adds to the singular appeal of his music. His politically charged "Eisenhower Blues" allegedly caused all sorts of nasty repercussions upon its 1954 emergence on Al Benson's Parrot logo (it was quickly pulled off the shelves and replaced with Lenoir's less controversially titled "Tax Paying Blues"). Lenoir waxed his most enduring piece, the infectious (and often-covered) "Mama Talk to Your Daughter," in 1954 for Al Benson's Parrot label. Lenoir's 1954-1955 Parrot output and 1955-1958 Checker catalog contained a raft of terrific performances, including a humorously defiant "Don't Touch My Head" (detailing his brand-new process hairdo) and "Natural Man." Lenoir's sound was unique: saxes (usually Alex Atkins and Ernest Cotton) wailed in unison behind Lenoir's boogie-driven rhythm guitar as drummer Al Galvin pounded out a rudimentary backbeat everywhere but where it customarily lays. Somehow, it all fit together. (Bill Dahl, Allmusic)

Buy SAN DIEGO STATE FOLK FESTIVAL 1972 by ROSCOE HOLCOMB
The first-ever full length commercially available live album by old-time legend Roscoe Holcomb.
Features a duet with Jean Ritchie.
https://www.discogs.com/Roscoe-Holcomb-San-Diego-State-Folk-Festival-1972/release/7905181
http://www.amazon.com/Diego-State-Folk-Festival-1972/dp/B016MSOA1I
Roscoe Holcomb was discovered in Daisy, Kentucky by John Cohen in 1959. He never desired to be recorded or even perform for his neighbors. He was a very poor, working class man who suffered from emphysema and black lung disease. Holcomb was simply a “back porch musician” in 1959. He quickly became recognized as an American treasure. Roscoe Holcomb’s music represents the old, deep soul of American music. His singing and banjo playing has a very distinct, high-pitched, wailing fervor to it, showing the influence of the primitive Baptist churches in remote Appalachia. His old-time songs are deeply traditional; many were centuries old. And he was strongly influenced by African-American music, singing with deep and haunting blues and aggressively pickin’ his banjo with speed. This music perfectly symbolizes the soul of America and its music: battered and pained, yet stubborn, excited, strange, and transcendentally beautiful. There’s a reason why musicians like Bob Dylan consider Roscoe to be one of their biggest influences. —Brendan Boyle

Tiny Tim's 15 minutes of fame were starting to run out when Tiny Tim's Second Album was released in November 1968, and it sold only a fraction of what God Bless Tiny Tim moved a mere ten months earlier. But while the novelty of Tiny Tim's act may have worn off for the average record buyer, Tiny Tim's Second Album is hardly a disappointment from a creative standpoint; as he did on Tim's first LP, producer Richard Perry created a stereophonic wonderland around his star that at once suits the eccentric charm of his musical vision and lends a pleasing sonic diversity to the set, ranging from the string-based melancholy of "She's Just Laughing at Me" and the Parisian mood of "When I Walk with You" to the jaunty, lightly addled pop/rock of "We Love It" and the Nashville cowboy twang of "Have You Seen My Little Sue." Tim even proves he can tackle rock & roll with a cracking cover of "Great Balls of Fire," which sounds enthusiastic while still showcasing his trademark vibrato and falsetto. And while Perry's efforts to bring Tiny Tim into the '60s sometimes hang a little uncomfortably on Tim's shoulders, the singer approaches contemporary material from Hoyt Axton and Tom Paxton with the élan of a true showman. But Tiny Tim is clearly most at home singing chestnuts from the Tin Pan Alley era, and when he closes the show with "As Time Goes By," the man sounds like he's ascended to show business heaven. A very entertaining listen from a truly misunderstood artist. --Allmusic.com
