Editorial Reviews

Album Description
* This glorious collection fearures the A-sides of all 15 of Ms. Collier's Chess 45s, plus the best of the B-sides. Quality 60s Chicago soul, spanning the whole of the 60s.

* Ten of her singles A and B-sides have never been on CD before, a further four have only ever been on Kent compilations.

* The only CD reissues on Mitty to date has been a now deleted reissue of her Chess album "Shades Of A Genius" with a few randomly selected bonus cuts - including the `wrong' version of her biggest hit, `I Had A Talk With My Man'.

Customer Reviews

"It was a real honor for me to be a member of the One Hit Wonder Club"5
1964 was a year of many one offs in Uptown Soul and Mitty Collier,whose reading of a Gospel song called I had a talk with my Lord was typical.
She even had an album issued called unfortunately Shades of a Genius though I believe that referred to Ray Charles,some of whose songs she covered.
I also believe I reviewed this CD months ago yet it never appeared-I think Amazon were having problems around then.
The hit probably sold more via the Dusty Springfield cover from her first album Everythings coming up Dusty.
And that was more or less her lot as the singles which followed only bubbled under if that.
After which Miss Collier-who was always pretty normal if you compared her to Etta James or Aretha Franklin- went back to the Church
