Includes original release liner notes by Billy James.
Personnel: Erma Franklin (vocals).
Liner Note Author: Billy James .
Though it's reasonably well known that Erma Franklin did the original version of "Piece of My Heart," the prime body of recordings by Aretha's older sister was still pretty ill-served by CD compilations until this 2009 release. Its 26 tracks contain everything she recorded for the Epic and Shout labels between 1961 and 1968. That includes her 1962 Epic LP, HER NAME IS ERMA, various early-'60s non-LP Epic singles, and the seven tracks she recorded for Shout in 1967-68 (among them the 1967 Top Ten R&B hit "Piece of My Heart"). Like Aretha Franklin's pre-Atlantic work for Columbia during the same era, Erma's Epic output in particular was pretty uneven, with too much emphasis on orchestrated popular standards. Yet mixed in with those were some gutsy early soul and girl group-style sides, a few of which--especially "Don't Wait Too Long" (penned by sister Carolyn Franklin) and the downright terrific "I Don't Want No Mama's Boy"--were arguably grittier and stronger material-wise than anything Aretha was doing in a similar vein in the early-'60s. More suitable soul tunes became less of a problem in her short but impressive stint with Shout, which included the down 'n' dirty, bluesy Carolyn Franklin composition "Don't Catch the Dog's Bone" and the obscure Carole King/Gerry Goffin number "Don't Have the Right to Cry." To repeat an unavoidable comparison, Erma's voice wasn't quite as amazing as Aretha's, but it was real good, and deserving of more success than it got at Epic or Shout (or her subsequent time at Brunswick, unrepresented on this compilation). This well-annotated package is a fine commemoration of her underrated talent, though audiophiles should be aware that two of her Epic singles had to be remastered from vinyl here as the master tapes are missing.
As the liner notes to this compilation are nothing more than a reprint of some old LP sleeve notes with nothing in the way of dates or recording info, there's no way to confirm when these tracks were recorded or who wrote them. That's an inexcusable shame, but it certainly is the best (if not the only) Erma Franklin CD compilation to appear. The original version of "Piece of My Heart" is here, and is the only song ...

| | Assemble Head In Sunburst Sound Ekranoplan CD (2007)
Our Gift To You
$12.19
The San Francisco neo-prog-rockers' guitar-heavy second album (their first, self-titled release was a limited edition of 500 copies) is rooted in the sounds of the early 1970s. Tracks such as "The Chocolate Maiden," with its ethereal, wordless vocals and Eastern ambience, and the ferocious, effects-laden "D Brown" are a fruitful collision of MORE-era Pink Floyd and some of the more monolithic-sounding denizens of late-period West Coast psychedelia.
Straight out of San Francisco erupt Assemble Head in Sunburst Sound, a band that formed early in the new millennium but sounds like it just washed in from the '60 and early '70s. Assemble Head's self-produced and self-released debut album was available in minimal quantities (500 to be precise), so Ekranoplan will be most people's introduction to their approach in the studio. The group's core trio sports a wide array of influences, all of which burst out in this recording. ...
