Mediocre in every sense of the word

"Extremely disappointed in this one. I found the sound quality to be only marginally better than what I had on my existing 45's. The packaging is ugly and the feeble attempt at liner notes is an embarrassment. As another reviewer has already noted, they even managed to get the title on cut #16 wrong. How in the world does that happen? The correct title should be "Get On Up" by the Esquires. Only redeeming features on this one is that there are 26 cuts including a couple of tunes that are extremely hard to locate. I had not heard nor have I ever seen Jimmy Castors "Hey Leroy" since it charted back in '67. Other hard to find tunes include the aforementioned "Get On Up", Kenny O'Dells "Beautiful People" as well as the Hombres "Let It All Hang Out". Unless there are a bunch of songs you are really looking for on this disc I would skip this one for sure."
