I will admit up front that I am not a huge fan of Greatest Hit Packages generally as I would rather just hear the original albums, but on "Uh Huh" I have to say that this is an amazing album. The album cover is cheesie as is the title and the book info is thin and uninteresting, but the music is beyond amazing. This album was compiled all from the original masters carefully by Steve Hoffman and Ray Charles together in 1992 and released on the very collectible DCC label.
This compilation covers 1959 to 1972 and Ray pulled out the ones i think he really thought were well done. In typical Hoffman style,the album is vividly clear and sonically perfect with all the bumps and bruises from the original mater tapes.
This collection is essential but be careful this was released a few times and YOU need to get the DCC version folks or you will be disappointed. This is a 2 full CD set of the magic of Ray Charles.......
