SHIRELLES - CD HAPPY & IN LOVE/SHIRELLES

Popis - HAPPY & IN LOVE/SHIRELLES:
Two Shirelles-albums on one disc! Their initial release for RCA was the album 'Happy And In Love', which included a few tracks (e.g.a version of The Royalettes hit 'It's Gonna Take A Miracle') previously released during the group's short stays at Bell and United Artists. The balance of the LP included a version of the Guess Who-song 'No Sugar Tonight' and a medley of Jr. Walker's 'Gotta Hold On To This Feeling' and Eddie Floyd's regendered 'I've Never Found A Girl' (as 'I've Never Found A Boy'). In 1972, RCA issued a self-titled follow-up LP which consisted almost entirely of contemporaneous covers of songs like Bill Wither's 'Ain't No Sunshine', a Marvin Gaye medley ('Mercy Mercy Me', 'Inner City Blues' and 'What's Going On'), Al Green's 'Let's Stay Together' and three Carole King compositions, 'Brother Brother', 'Walk On In' and 'It's Going To Take Some Time'. Both 'Happy And In Love' and 'Shirelles' make their worldwide CD-debut with this release, which also includes three non-album RCA singles as bonus tracks. The liner notes are from renowned UK writer David Cole, with interview quotes from Shirley Alston.
