This collector’s edition includes Sam Cooke’s sensational second LP, Encore, originally issued by the Keen label in 1958. Music critic Ron Wynn wrote the following about the Encore LP: “Superb vocals by the great Sam Cooke, with some sophisticated pop, wonderful ballads, and a few intense wailers that recall his great gospel material.”

In addition to the original masterpiece, this Vinyl Lovers collector’s edition includes 2 bonus tracks from the same period: “Forever” and the tender “I’ll Come Running Back to You”. Awesome tunes from one of the pioneers and most important singers in soul music.
