For obsessive collectors only

"I like Jack McDuff but I was rather disappointed by this release. In reading the inside liner notes, I then understood why. Basically, this collects all the songs from his 60's releases that hadn't appeared on the other "Good'Un" albums (wish they'd noted that on the back of the CD). In short, they picked through all the best stuff for those other albums and this album incorporates all the remnants.It's not bad, and there are a couple of pretty good songs ("The Morning Song", "What's Shakin'") but for the most part it's rather uninspiring organ soul jazz with a number of eight minute songs that get boring about half way thru. You're better off with other McDuff albums (such as "Live")."
