Free Music Notes for The Very Best of Hank Ballard and the Midnighters
Free Music Review: Eye-popping stereo masters from the King vaults
Hit: 5 Stars
Collectables serves up twenty-five R&B sides from the vaults of King Records, with twenty in crisp true stereo (all but tracks 2, 3, 18, 19, 25). Though stereo in this case is mostly 2-track, there's no doubting that the separation provides greater fidelity than previous mono reissues. On the other hand, the original stereo tapes are disconcerting for anyone weaned on the original hot mono masters mixed for AM radio. The tracks here focus on the years 1959 through 1963, thus failing to include seminal earlier sides like "Work With Me Baby" and "Sexy Ways," but featuring career highlights "The Twist, "Teardrops on Your Pillow" and "Finger Poppin' Time." The scant liner notes make reference to a second Collectables disc that features the earlier work, but it's either out of print, or was never issued; the classic '54 sides can be found on several other imprints, including out-of-print discs from Rhino ("Sexy Ways: The Best of Hank Ballard & The Midnighters") and See For Miles ("The EP Collection... Plus"). Given the lack of earlier material, and the head-turning stereo mixes, this probably isn't the best place to start as a one-disc overview, but for anyone who loves Ballard's music, this is a must-have.
