by Rob Theakston This 2006 Collectables budget-line collection works well on two levels. First, it contains a large percentage of the hits that Archie Bell & the Drells had during the peak of their career, including "Tighten Up" (their most well-known hit) and several other early classics from the writing/production team of Gamble & Huff. It's also free of the unnecessary filler that plagued other greatest-hit compilations, making it a lean and accurate portrait of one of soul music's most underappreciated ensembles. Second, it's a budget-line compilation, which makes it a sensible purchase for those wanting just the hits to fill the gaps in their soul music collections.
