Beg, Scream & Shout!: The Big Ol' Box Of 60's Soul [Box set]

Amazon.com
Extravagance in packaging is no vice, especially when the media--six CDs wrapped in mockup 45 sleeves inside one of those carrying cases that were the in thing for late-'60s singles buyers--so perfectly enhance the sounds contained within. Of course, it's what's in the digital bitstream that counts, and Beg, Scream & Shout!'s selections are masterfully chosen. Unlike Rhino's excellent but somewhat predictable R&B Box, this one strikes a better balance between well-known hits and artists and great sides by second-tier acts. This approach allows many more surprises to break through over the course of the 144 tracks, almost all presented in single-mix mono. Half-remembered, too-little-heard, never-heard--a big part of the experience of the soul decade is here, with even the most familiar tunes thrown into relief by the jumble of chronology and styles. Whether the most indelible legends (James, Aretha, Otis), unjustly forgotten stars (Joe Simon, Tyrone Davis), or great one- and two-shot voices, the set just keeps moving with smart selections. Grand discoveries abound--Otis Clay's "That's How It Is (When You're in Love)," which begins with the singer imploring, "Please, somebody take your hand and slap some sense in me"; C & the Shells' Jerry "Swamp Dogg" Williams-penned "You Are the Circus (I Am the Clown)"--plus original versions of "Tainted Love" (by Gloria Jones), "Mustang Sally" (by its author, Sir Mack Rice), "Piece of My Heart" (by Erma Franklin, Aretha's sister), "He Was Really Sayin' Something" (by the Velvelettes), and "Leaving Here" (by Eddie Holland). Consistently revelatory and fun, fun, fun, this is pretty much everything a genre box should be. --Rickey Wright

Extravagance in packaging is no vice, especially when the media--six CDs wrapped in mockup 45 sleeves inside one of those carrying cases that were the in thing for late-'60s singles buyers--so perfectly enhance the sounds contained within. Of course, it's what's in the digital bitstream that counts, and Beg, Scream & Shout!'s selections are masterfully chosen. Unlike Rhino's excellent but somewhat predictable R&B Box, this one strikes a better balance between well-known hits and artists and great sides by second-tier acts. This approach allows many more surprises to break through over the course of the 144 tracks, almost all presented in single-mix mono. Half-remembered, too-little-heard, never-heard--a big part of the experience of the soul decade is here, with even the most familiar tunes thrown into relief by the jumble of chronology and styles. Whether the most indelible legends (James, Aretha, Otis), unjustly forgotten stars (Joe Simon, Tyrone Davis), or great one- and two-shot voices, the set just keeps moving with smart selections. Grand discoveries abound--Otis Clay's "That's How It Is (When You're in Love)," which begins with the singer imploring, "Please, somebody take your hand and slap some sense in me"; C & the Shells' Jerry "Swamp Dogg" Williams-penned "You Are the Circus (I Am the Clown)"--plus original versions of "Tainted Love" (by Gloria Jones), "Mustang Sally" (by its author, Sir Mack Rice), "Piece of My Heart" (by Erma Franklin, Aretha's sister), "He Was Really Sayin' Something" (by the Velvelettes), and "Leaving Here" (by Eddie Holland).

Customer Reviews:

One of the greatest box sets ever released.......2003-11-12

This is not only a spectacular assemblage of some of the greatest music ever released, it is arguably the greatest packaging job of all time. While I know some will wonder why there are not specific songs from their favorite artists included, they miss the point. This is a beautiful archive of the greatest musical decade of the rock era. The fact that each artist gets just one track, and there are nearly 150 different artists represented, is mute testimony to the unbelievable wealth of great music released in a mere ten years. Should you also own Star Time, Emporers of Soul, The Master, Otis!, and The Queen of Soul (to name a few and all five star boxes in their own right)? Absolutely. But I have found more undiscovered jems in this set than even the brilliant first volume of Stax/Volt singles. If you have any love at all for the golden age of soul music, get off your wallet and spring for this masterpiece. While your at it, buy one for your soul-loving friend as a Christmas present. You/he/she may never listen to anything else.
As an aside to "music lover" from El Paso. Don't denigrate the overall impression of this collection simply because you are not happy with whatever retailer you were stiffed by. I understand your frustration, but an awful lot of people look to this site (and its star rating system, which I wish they would dispense with) for advice on what music is worth spending their hard earned dollars on. I also hope you eventually get the thing, because you will wish there was a sixth star to give it.

Superb!!!.......2003-06-01

I have had this set for about 3 years, now, and I still play something from it, practically, on a daily basis. This is the source code, right here. If you could rate something 100 stars, I would rate this set 100 stars. Lots of very cool originals, that you never heard, that were later covered by other artists. For instance, you can imagine Janice Joplin, as a teenager, hearing Garnett Mim's, "Cry Baby", being inspired by it, and then covering it when she got her career going. LOVE this set! NEED a sequel, Rhino!!!

the last word on sixties soul collections.......2003-01-30

from the first burst to the last blast rhino serves it up until your ear hole runneth over. this heart warming, soul stirring collection contains almost every sonic memory from my mother's stack of 45's and quite a few cuts I'd never heard before. while the BEG discs are comprised of ballads SCREAM & SHOUT are full on party discs.put them all in your multi-disc player, hit shuffle and let the music take over your mind. if you're a fan of 60's soul you WILL NOT be disappointed. bless you rhino records

NOTHING LIKE THOSE OLDIES BUT GOODIES.......2002-09-13

I think this is an excellent CD. The best compilation of oldies I've come across to date; most of the oldies compilations contain the same songs over and over again. The Beg, Scream & Shout! 60's Box Set is unique - it contains songs I've yet to come across on other oldies CD's. I have two oldies albums from the 60's that sound scratchy and I was unable to find a replacement album, CD or cassette on the internet. Well, I'm happy to say the Beg, Scream & Shout CD set contains at least 12 songs from my 2 albums, plus additional favorites I thought I'd never hear again. I have to applaud you for this one. The groups today do not sound as good as the groups from back in the day - the old school groups sang about LOVE and sang the songs with feeling.

The Coolest 60's Soul Box Set Ever.......2002-05-02

If you're tired of hearing about the grapevine or sitting on the dock of the bay, this soulful box set is for you. Superstars are represented by left-field selections (i.e. Marvin Gaye's "Can I Get A Witness", The Supremes "Love Is Like An Itching In My Heart"), while contributions from cult faves and one-hit wonders are treated with r-e-s-p-e-c-t (to quote another overplayed soul classic). And the idea of featuring only one song by each artist is brilliant.
