More "5" Royales greatness, via this seldom-seen "import" which gathers alternate takes, complete with studio talk. Great track selection and sound quality. I'm glad this was "imported" by whomever "imported" it.
This recording has been rendered prolix by the magnificent (if incomplete) five-CD book-set Soul & Swagger from RockBeat Records. It appears on the verge of going out of print, and new copies may be had on amazon for very reasonable prices. By all means, buy this collection!
In the meantime, don't let it be in vain... download this sweet pile of secret soul right HERE!
Here's the track listing...

hey thanks i was reading robert palmer ( the writer and sax player from insect trust) 's book on rock and roll and found a large hole in my knowledge. i knew nothing of the 5 royals, not even that one of my favorite guitar players steve cropper was totally influenced.
