Continuing our short series of Expanded Versions of classic Millie Jackson albums, the 1972 debut album from one of soul musics greatest talents now gets a well-earned makeover.
The sets 10 original offerings are now bolstered by a further nine cuts, including both completely unissued material - including all four tracks from Millies first, 1969 studio session - and never before heard, unedited and/or alternate versions of some of the LPs best- known and best loved numbers.
The original album itself has been remastered, for the first time, from the original production master that Spring Records delivered to Polydor, their then-distributors, in 1972.
Contains several of Millies career hits including A Child Of God, Ask Me What You Want and her UK chart debut My Man, A Sweet Man.
Assembled with the co-operation and approval of Millie herself, this is yet another valuable addition to a series that no true soul fan will be able to resist.
