5 out of 5 stars F.A.N.T.A.S.T.I.C.!.......2006-02-02

I've got the original music (including v2 and v3), the books (the best is Heitland's The Man from U.N.C.L.E. Book; still in print);
the 22 VHS tapes issued in the early 1990's (a haphazard collection issued in no particular order of episodes that boasted famous guest stars). Can I please get the whole series on DVD? I have not seen Mother Fear toying with Illya (The Children's Day Affair) in over 40 years.

5 out of 5 stars At LAST the complete series ORIGINAL soundtrack, the wait is over!.......2005-07-12

Many of us have always thought The Man From UNCLE had the best music for a TV series ever, and this three double CD release confirms this. Wow! I'd be just happy with one CD, but having SIX (three double CDs packages) is absolutely out of this world, I mean, a lifetime wait come true.

Indeed, this is an unbelievable collection of three double CDs packages with the complete series soundtrack, and I mean the complete music, not a tune is missing.

And this is the ORIGINAL Man From Uncle music. Let me stress the point: this is the four years ORIGINAL soundtrack with the original recordings as they were heard throughout the series, not a no-name orchestra doing personal versions of the stuff. The audio transfer is very, very good, the music from late episodes is even in stereo.

Each individual CD carries over 70 minutes of music. All in all there you have the four TV seasons main titles and all, absolutely all of TMFU unforgetable music.

This is not a chronological release, meaning, all CDs have a mix of music from all four TV seasons. Volume 1 is heavier on early TV seasons stuff, fans of Jerry Goldsmith will love it. Those of us who prefer what Gerald Fried and later Richard Shores did with TMFU music, then volume 2 is mandatory. If you are a fan, you can't miss any of these six CDs. However if buying all three double packages is too much for you, you must go with Volume 2, no questions asked. Volume three is the weakest of them as it brings "suites" and a whole CD with "The Girl From Uncle" soundtrack, but you have a bonus "Open Channel D" beeper.

Each package is gorgeous, each with a glossy color booklet with extensive liner notes with details on how each tune was written to a specific TV series episode and how it was used onwards. You have bios on the composers, on how the recordings were made, even an overview on how many instruments were available in each of the years the music was recorded.

So, throw away your Hugo Montenegro Man From Uncle CD, this is the REAL thing.

2 out of 5 stars Left-Overs (Some Tasty Treats).......2006-11-23

Mable John is noteworthy as the first woman signed to Berry Gordy's Tamla Records (the predecessor to the cultural phenomenon that was Motown Records). There, four songs were released. Seven songs were released were released by Stax; three were released by Tangerine. She was also lead singer of Ray Charles's Raelettes.

STAY OUT OF THE KITCHEN consists of 25 songs, all but seven (2, 4, 7, 9, 11, 19, 20) of which are previously unreleased (some as alternate takes), recorded 1966-1968 for Stax Records (tracks 2, 7, 9, 11, 19, 20, 21 are mono). Most of the songs are collaborations with Isaac Hayes and David Porter. Booklet includes a lengthy essay (four panel) by Rob Bowman, no lyrics, no photos, and very limited track information (only songwriters and occasionally "take" numbers; no recording dates, chart information, or personnel information).

The song "Your Good Thing (Is About to End)" described a her "monster R&B record that peaked at #6" is not included in this compilation. All but two of the songs (3, 35) are under 3 minutes long. Total running time is 67:08.

I don't find this to be the best example of Southern Soul or 1960s Soul. Despite the input of Hayes & Porter, Mable John's sound is not that of a solo female Sam & Dave. (But apparently is more Soulful than the Pop recordings made with pre-Motown Berry Gordy several years earlier.) She is not comparable with Etta James or Millie Jackson - or Ann Peebles or Ruth Brown or Koko Taylor or Esther Phillips, for that matter. Her voice lacks vigor, intensity, urgency, gut-wrenching emotion, or true distinction. But her voice is pleasant and the music is enjoyable (My favorite is the sassy "Sorry About That"). For the right price, this compilation is worth adding to one's collection.

3 out of 5 stars Hmmm...Not As Good As I'd Hoped.......2006-01-26

I know that many of my fellow soul obsessives who love to heap praise on artists that most of their friends have never heard of (check: obscurity doesn't necessarily mean quality) will likely disagree with my assessment of Mable John, but I'm afraid her talents are rather "average" on the whole, and she certainly won't make you forget Mavis Staples, Carla Thomas, Jean Knight or Ann Peebles any time soon. I, too, love discovering singers that time has either forgotten or wrongfully stepped over during their heyday but my high hopes were dashed several songs into this cd for a few obvious reasons: the material is certainly strong enough and the backing of the Stax house band is typically expert and funky as always, but Mable seems to have trouble connecting with the songs emotionally--it's as if she trotted in at the last minute and sang her parts over the rhythm tracks with little investment. Worse yet, she routinely sings slightly out of tune and her pitch problems become rather grating after half an hour of listening. If you don't believe me just listen to the song samples from beginning to end. If you're honest and objective you'll have to agree that Mable is often curiously flat in her delivery on at least half the tunes--not enough to make you wince (though close at times) but enough to be off-putting over the course of a whole cd. Don't get me wrong: there are worthwhile moments here and there on this disc but I would strongly disagree with the previous reviewers' assertions that Ms. John possessed a golden voice that was somehow mysteriously overlooked back in its day. For my money, I can think of literally dozens of female soul singers, both famous and obscure, who I'd rather hear any day of the week, and must therefore consider her a marginally interesting discovery at best.

5 out of 5 stars Back to the famous Stax sound - and what a voice!.......2005-09-29

25 tracks - of which only 7 previously issured - recorded by the sister of Little Willie John (of "Fever" fame), accompanied by the best Stax musicians, no less than Booker T. Jones, Steve Cropper, Isaac Hayes, Al Jackson at al.
No alternate tracks, or outtracks, or demos; real finished pieces,18 of which who knows why never released at the time.
Buy and enjoy!

5 out of 5 stars Stacks and stacks of Stax.......2001-06-19

Where I do agree with the reviewer above that Stax didn't give Mable John the material she deserved, I differ in preferring her slower tracks. Pieces like "I'm a big girl now" and especially Otis' "I love you more than words can say" really showcase Mable's ability to push emotions, and the experience beneath, across. On the same lines "Able Mable" (a different version than the one Stax released as a single) and "Have your cake" suceed in a big way, expertly conveying the feelings of a woman done wrong. Mable is definitely able to put some soul in you life.

4 out of 5 stars Top rate voice - mediocre material.......2000-12-29

Signing Mable John to Stax records from Motown ought to have given Stax producers some sort of an idea about the direction that she needed to go to have massive hits.Unfortunately, as these tracks amply prove, they never got to grips with giving her the right material to fulfil her potential.By far and away the best track is "Stay out of the kitchen". "That's what my love can do" is passable, but apart from those, producers and writers seem to have struggled to move her away from a series of 'little girl done wrong' tracks.Her voice is never less than good,sometimes excellent, but with Shirley Brown and Jean Knight seemingly getting the best of what house writers had to offer, it's little wonder that she decided going back on the road with Ray Charles was a more productive line of work. The version of "Need your love so bad" is a poignant reminder of the heritage of her brother
