Pre-Soul Soulful Rhythm & Pop .......2007-01-04

25 ALL-TIME GREATEST HITS consists of 25 songs, which, with the exception of one from 1968 (track 23), were recorded 1962-1967 on Nomar, ABC-Paramount, and Scepter/Wand labels; songs are not in chronological order. Disc packaged in clear jewel case; total running time: 64:59. Booklet includes an essay by Bill Dahl and several black & white photographs; track information (including release dates and chart info) is located on the back cover with the track listing. Sound quality is good.

Not included are Maxine's duets with label mate Chuck Jackson (they covered Chris Kenner's "Something You Got" and Sam & Dave's "Hold On, I'm Coming"), anything from her 1968 LP on Epic, or her 1969 #15 hit "We'll Cry Together". Tracks 18 and 24 are previously unissued; both are written by Otis Redding.

Most of the songs included are ballads, including "Since I Found You", which features backing vocals by The Sweet Inspirations. There are few up-tempo tracks, including the rockin' "I Don't Need You No More", written by Curtis Mayfield. The sound quality of "Anything You Do Is Alright" is not good (the horns sound terrible).

Maxine Brown has a pleasant voice, not unlike Brenda Holloway or any number of Motown-era female singers, but it is not amazing or distinctive. It has been written that Maxine had a very dynamic voice, but such range is not demonstrated in this collection.

There have been a number of Maxine Brown compilation CD's issued over the CD-era years, with the better ones coming from across the pond via Ace Records of the U.K. while the domestic ones have been a sorry lot. Here, Varese Vintage does a quality job sonically, but selection-wise, misses the mark to some extent. Though the majority of her most commercially successful singles from the Nomar and Wand labels are here, her charting song from ABC-Paramount, "My Time For Cryin'" and her final pop-charting entry, "We'll Cry Together" are absent. Also, her five charting duets with labelmate Chuck Jackson are not here, a debatable decision for a "25 Greatest Hits" collection. Perhaps licensing difficulties are to blame but with 15 charting entries to her credit yet there being 25 tracks on the CD, including only eight of those hits hardly qualifies for "all time greatest hits" status. Nevertheless, this collection does what it does well and the sound quality is better than found in other collections with many tracks (1,3-5,7,8,11,12,14,23-25) in stereo. The eight-page liner notes booklet provides a backround history of Brown by Bill Dahl along with pics and illustrations. Though not as exhaustive as it should/could have been, this is by far the best CD on Brown to date and will have to fill the bill until a truly comprehensive piece comes to market.
