In the sixties there were thousands of soul sides produced, however, the market was singles driven, so finding a period soul album playable start to finish is tough. I know you might reckon, "What about Motown?"! If you own enough sixties era Motown albums you know exactly what I mean. Being the biggest soul label during the sixties they were VERY guilty of using "filler" tracks to pad the albums, often reusing backing tracks or having their artists sing standards. Well, fortunately, the genius of Mr. Larry Williams and Johnny 'Guitar' Watson defies the cliche'! Two For The Price Of One is a wide open, pedal to the metal...SOUL album...it's exactly what you'd expect from this infamous pair...nothing but DANCERS! In fact, TftPoO is so danceable half the albums tracks are Northern Soul classics (biggest being "Too Late" and A "Quitter Never Wins"). This is what an album of soul oughta be...you ain't heard NOTHING till you've heard this! –Nipper
