More Info
* Candi Staton's recording's for Fame Records are some of the most essential moments in Southern Soul's history. For the first time ever all 48 of the tracks she made for Rick Hall's label between 1969 and 1974 are together in one place. 22 have never been on CD before and 12 are previously unreleased.
* This collection contains 12 R&B chart hits, four of which went Top 10, including her peerless version of Tammy Wynette's `Stand By Your Man'. Kent have also included every track from her three albums released on Fame.
* This is the first time that Candi's Fame recordings have been reissued by anyone with access to the Fame Studios tape archive. This allows Kent to present everything in stunning sound as well as the previously unreleased tracks which are all of a high quality. In the ballad `We Had It All' and the dancer `One More Hurt' Kent are introducing new classics to her canon, some of which she will be incorporating into the set she will perform on her upcoming European tour.
* The booklet has an extensive note based on exclusive interviews with Candi and producer Rick Hall as well as many of the musicians involved. Access to Fame's own photo archive means that Kent are able to include many wonderful and previously unseen photos of Candi.
