Kent 923 - The Impressions - Definitive Impressions (1989 & 2002 + 2 Booklets) - Rare Soul (FLAC 624MB)

Such a great album kent issued it twice due to overwhelming demand. Does soul get any better than this! Even those with only a passing interest in soul music would have to agree that Definitive Impressions is a cornerstone to any serious collection of soul music. The proof, should you need any, is in the tracklisting, here you'll find Gypsy Woman, I've Been Trying, Keep On Pushing, You've Been Cheating, We're A Winner, I'm So Proud and People Get Ready, to name but a few of its unchallenged contenders for any musical Hall Of Fame. These, and the other 22 sumptuous, soulful songs featured have few equals in the annals of American music. There can be no questions about this that a quick scan of the remaining titles won't answer. There are many who will gladly tell you that the exquisite harmonies of Curtis Mayfield, Sam Gooden and Fred Cash make them the finest soul group of all time, I would be unwilling and unable to oppose any such assertion,  Here, then, are two dozen and four of the greatest recordings made by anyone, anytime and anywhere, Definitive and, unquestionably, Impressive....CLASS!...Just found my copy in the great sort out but my good pal OSR was kind enough to send me this ages ago!
