Review:
Atlantic’s original vinyl edition of this was comprised of Albert’s Stax singles — a few from Born Under a Bad Sign, along with “Cold Feet,” “I Love Lucy” (two of King’s patented monologues), and the beautiful “You’re Gonna Need Me.” Great stuff. Even greater, though, is the reissue, which includes those singles (which didn’t appear on any other LPs) and all of Born Under a Bad Sign. Need I say more?
