Maxine Brown

HIGH-DEFINITION PREMIUM VINYL PRESSING FOR SUPER FIDELITY

This special LP release compiles 18 studio tracks, including a bunch of the sensational singles Maxine Brown made for the small Nomar, Wand and the major ABC-Paramount labels, between 1960 and 1962. Most of these splendid songs would form part of Maxine’s debut LP, the iconic The Fabulous Sound of Maxine Brown, issued on the Wand imprint. Highlights include Brown’s first single “All in My Mind,” and the follow-up “Funny”, as well as other touching ballads like “Think of Me,” “Ask Me,” and the aforementioned “Oh No, Not My Baby.” The latter was originally written for The Shirelles but was recorded with alternate lead vocals and arranger Stan Greenberg identified that the song needed a different melodic approach, hence it was offered to Maxine with the caveat that she develop the melody.
