Rhino Handmade Series - Wilson Pickett  Rhino Handmade is proud to present FUNKY MIDNIGHT MOVER – THE ATLANTIC STUDIO RECORDINGS (1962-1978), legendary soul shaker Wilson Pickett's exclusive rhino.com 6-CD collection. The first comprehensive compilation of Pickett’s Atlantic material, FUNKY MIDNIGHT MOVER includes all his originally issued recordings for the label, as well as early pre-Atlantic sides, his 1978 album for the Atlantic-distributed Big Tree imprint, and a full CD’s worth of rare or previously unreleased recordings. The impressive set’s 154 tracks encompass all 35 of the singer’s R&B smashes – including five #1 hits – from “In The Midnight Hour,” his first hit for Atlantic Records, to 1973’s “International Playboy,” his last chart entry for the label. The earliest unreleased track on this set, an undubbed alternate of “Hello Sunshine,” dates from the 1967 American sessions for the album I’m In Love and prominently features Bobby Womack’s lead guitar. The collection concludes with “Superstar,” a full-blown disco track from 1978 unearthed in the vaults during research for this set. The set, presented in an elaborate 92-page, linen-wrapped book with many rare and unseen photos, also features comprehensive liner notes, including intros by Jerry Wexler and Steve Cropper, an essay by Chris Morris, and an extensive track-by-track by Bill Dahl. http://www.rhino.com/shop...MPID=GOLDE =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Looks like a great package for The Wicked Pickett...

You would normally think so, but from what I understand, that track was done at Fame Studios in Muscle Shoals. Music for adventurous listeners tA Tribal Records"Ya see, we're not interested in what you know...but what you are willing to learn. C'mon y'all." | |

Ironically, Pickett's success is often blamed for a split between Wexler and the Stax leadership, a conflict that led to another fortuitous creative alliance for Atlantic's soul icon. In early 1966, Wexler took Pickett to FAME Studios in the small community of Muscle Shoals, Alabama, which had built a reputation during the preceding five years as an efficient and versatile source of hit records, particularly those in the "southern soul" genre. Despite FAME's funky reputation, Pickett expressed ambivalence about returning to his home state, which still struggled with harsh racial intolerance. Pickett grew even more skeptical when he learned that FAME producer Rick Hall and the core backing musicians (known as the Muscle Shoals Rhythm Section), were white. Out of respect for Jerry Wexler however, Pickett agreed to record at FAME Studios, and his initial reluctance soon turned to creative joy, as he and the Muscle Shoals musicians recorded celebratory, hard-driving hits such as "Land Of A Thousand Dances" and "Mustang Sally." http://www.encyclopediaof...?id=h-1394 =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Music for adventurous listeners tA Tribal Records[Edited 3/12/10 19:55pm] "Ya see, we're not interested in what you know...but what you are willing to learn.
