Description
* Birmingham's Spencer Davis Group's A and B sides for Fontana Records
* With the bright talent that was a young Steve Winwood, The Spencer Davis Group burst into commercial success with their fifth 45, 'Keep On Running', which was a UK No.1 and a hit all across Europe.
* 'Somebody Help Me' was also a UK No. 1 and a European hit record
* 'Gimme Some Lovin'' and 'I'm A Man' were both US Top Ten hits.
* Winwood left in 1967 to form Traffic and the band limped on, before finally calling it a day in 1974
* Digitally remastered and slipcased
* With new notes by Charles Waring

The cover image has been added to the first post.

I have the original SDG albums on CD. They include too much filler, and the sound quality is not stellar. Singles compilations are better for this group, especially if they focus primarily on the Stevie Winwood era.

Just my opinion. I know there are collectors who care more about Spencer Davis himself than about Winwood.

Anyway, this new comp is the cream of the crop of SDG recordings, the prime Winwood material, and BGO's remastering could only help. If you don't have any SDG in your collection yet, this 2CD set looks like a perfect choice. If you already have 26 best-ofs like Renny does, then no.
