Billy Joe Royal - The complete early recordings 1961-1966 (special import)
Dynamic Voice Records presents Billy Joe Royal's "The Complete Early Recordings 1961-1966", anthologizing the formative years of an icon for the first time. Broken into three parts, the collection first tells the story of a pre-fame Royal. His singles for Fairlane, All Wood, Tollie and Player's 1 are included in their original mono single mixes. Part II tells the story of a star's rise to fame: the complete "Down In The Boondocks" album in stereo, which includes the smash title track, "I Knew You When" and "I've Got To Be Somebody". Rounding out the package is Billy Joe's Columbia singles post-debut album, in stereo where possible.
