Jackie Wilson - NYC 1961-1966 (2015)

The compilation Jackie Wilson fans have been waiting for – with 24 unissued recordings and alternate takes. Get right inside the studio with Jackie and producers Nat Tarnopol and Eddie Singleton to see what went on in these 60s New York sessions. Jackie Wilson’s dynamic vocal style and showmanship earned him the title “Mr Excitement” from DJ Alan Freed and you’ll see why when you check out the tremendous music on this 48-track 2CD set. Extensive research into the Brunswick label vaults has uncovered 24 previously unreleased gems and fascinating alternate takes and versions, all recorded in New York between 1961 and 1966, which are combined here with collectable R&B and soul 45s from the same era.
