Curtis Mayfield and the Impressions: Big Sixteen
Bob Fisher, NME, March 1975
IT'S PLEASING to see Anchor pushing out this classic compilation, as it's been unavailable for several years. It was originally issued on the old HMV label in 1966, in mono. This reissue is in stereo, though thankfully the quality of the tracks has not been affected. Also, the original cover photograph has been retained.
