LPCDreissues: Looking forward to the past

• Surprisingly, this is the first Millie Jackson CD to be released on the Kent label. Although five tracks have made it to compilation albums, this is the definitive collection of her (mainly) modern soul dance tracks all together in one handy pick-up-and-play CD.""

"

• The tracks were penned by Bobby Womack, Benny Latimore, George Jackson, Don Covay and Ashford & Simpson among others. There's not a single filler or duff track in sight.""

"

• 'You Can't Stand The Thought', 'Ask Me What You Want' and 'Don't Send Nobody Else' have always been firm favourites at such crossover establishments as Pitches and Yarmouth. 'You Can't Turn Me Off' and 'If That Don't Turn You On' are heading that way, while 'House For Sale' and 'My Man Is A Sweet Man' have been Northern Soul monsters for years""

"

• Millie's first 45, the MGM-released stomper 'My Heart Took A Licking' is on Kent for the first time.""
