IT'S ONLY PART OF THE STORY

"WHAT'S ON THIS CD IS EXCELLENT BUT IT'S ONLY PART OF THE CLOVERS' STORY.

I KNOW YOU CAN'T GET EVERYTHING THEY DID ON ONE CD BUT WHY CAN'T SOMEONE

PUT OUT A BOX SET OF, SAY, THREE OR FOUR CD's WITH ALL OF THEIR

SIGNIFICANT SONGS TOGETHER. THIS CD, WHEN COMBINED WITH THE "DOWN IN THE

ALLEY" CD FROM ATLANTIC RECORDS, MAKES FOR A MORE COMPLETE COLLECTION

OF THE WONDERFUL RECORDINGS FROM THIS OUTSTANDING GROUNDBREAKING

GROUP FROM WASHINGTON, DC.

THESE ARE THE ORIGINAL RECORDINGS AND THEY SOUND TERRIFIC. I HIGHLY

RECOMMEND THIS CD TO ANYONE WHO ENJOYS THE ORIGINAL SOUNDS OF THAT ERA

AND THE REAL ROOTS OF ROCK & ROLL. JUST KEEP IN MIND THAT THERE'S A

LOT MORE TO BE HAD TO DO THE CLOVERS JUSTICE.

ENJOY THIS CD AS I DO, BUT GO FOR THE REST OF IT. IT'S GREAT!

BY THE WAY: WHY AREN'T THE CLOVERS IN THE ROCK & ROLL MUSIC HALL OF FAME?

THEIR ABSENCE IS A CLEAR INJUSTICE!
