Review:
A forgotten name in Philly's soul history, Jean Wells' late '60s and early '70s recordings have been lovingly restored and re-released by BBE on this new and extensive compilation. Bearing the primitive trademarks of the city, her songs are loaded with rich arrangements and deliciously affecting songwriting - just listen to the incredible stirring soul of "Have A Little Mercy", the Northern Soul-swing of "After Loving You" or the anthemic, brass-backed "Somebody's Been Loving You" and you'll see why BBE have chosen to put Jean Wells back in the racks.
