We'll Never Forget You - The Imperial Years 1963-66
Compil. UK 2012 on Shout! Records label
R&B/Soul (Soul)
The O'Jays need no introduction to Soul fans: The legendary Ohio act are famous for a raft of '60s and '70s Soul classics. We'll Never Forget You compiles, for the first time ever, the group's entire output for the mighty Imperial label across the mid-1960s. Many tracks have never before been on CD. Includes the in-demand Northern Soul floorfiller 'I'll Never Forget You', the Mod classic, 'Lipstick Traces' and their very first R&B hits such as 'Lonely Drifter'. The 28 tracks are drawn from their many 45s for the label, alongside two exclusive cuts from their elusive debut album Comin' Through. -Shout. Manufactured in EEC.
