Picking this one was surprisingly difficult.
Quite a few years ago, I picked up a 2-fer CD repackaging of the
group’s 3rd and 4th albums, this one paired with 1964’s Keep On Pushing. It was on Kent Records,
a UK label specialising in reissuing 60s and 70s American soul music, and I
probably got it at Roadhouse Oldies in Silver Spring.
Previously, everything I had by the group, whether on LP or CD, was a
greatest-hits compilation of some kind. I now discovered that many of their
album tracks were actually as good as their singles. Going back to the post
where I named the Impressions as one of my favorite musical acts of all
time and listed my favorite 20 songs by the group, it turns out that 15 of them
were from three albums: these two, plus their eponymous 1963 debut. Choosing
among them was tough, but the title track wound up being the deciding factor.
Favorite tracks:
It’s Hard To Believe
Just Another Dance
See The Real Me
Woman’s Got Soul
You Must Believe Me
