This one seemed to be more "country" than Soul View Now! which ultimately makes me prefer that one over this, but I still consider this to be an excellent album, her voice is just too good.
I think her LP on Money/Abet is my favorite of all, though.

Countdown to Faux_Rillz telling us how good-looking Ms. Swann is:
The Abet press can usually be found for a little cheaper, and is generally a better pressing, too, although I say that having only seen a thin later Money pressing, don't know if there is an earlier, heavier pressing on Money as well.

Hmmm...I wouldn't consider my Money press of this album thin, but it's still not thick enough to pass the wobble test.
I love her first album and am extremely geeked to have a clean one in the shop right now.
Downside, because her career is so thorough and her later albums so common, this is a popular candidate for the ol' "yo! I used to see this for $2 everywhere!"
...it goes "I'm Just a Prisoner," "Stand By Your Man," then the self-titled LP. But the tracklisting on that site doesn't match other tracklistings I've seen for her S/T album, plus the years are off by 7!

Here's a handy rule of thumb: if a record by your fave old-school soul act came out after '75, chances are it's gonna be a disco record.
I don't blame you, I have a cutoff switch for disco too. I'll ride for Candi Staton as well, but that gutless "Young Hearts Run Free" mess has got to go. Fame Studios forever!
Diss disco and you diss yourself!
I'm on Pickwick's side with this one. In my opinion, Candi Staton had one of the top three soul voices ever. It's a shame to see her changing her game and ditching Muscle Shoals when she switches to WB.
I love her first album and am extremely geeked to have a clean one in the shop right now.
Downside, because her career is so thorough and her later albums so common, this is a popular candidate for the ol' "yo! I used to see this for $2 everywhere!"
...it goes "I'm Just a Prisoner," "Stand By Your Man," then the self-titled LP. But the tracklisting on that site doesn't match other tracklistings I've seen for her S/T album, plus the years are off by 7!

From 1974, which is quite good, with the soul epic "On Your Way Down"

Comments
This one seemed to be more "country" than Soul View Now!
which ultimately makes me prefer that one over this, but I still
consider this to be an excellent album, her voice is just too good.
I think her LP on Money/Abet is my favorite of all, though.
Countdown to Faux_Rillz telling us how good-looking Ms. Swann is:
10 ... 9 ... 8 ...
She is dimetastic on that cover.
I have been trying to get a copy of Swann's LP on Money off a collector who I've been buying from for a while, he's still not selling.
Hell yeah.
Agree w/ SOI that the Money LP is the best of the three.
and is generally a better pressing, too, although I say that
having only seen a thin later Money pressing, don't know if
there is an earlier, heavier pressing on Money as well.
Hmmm...I wouldn't consider my Money press of this album thin, but it's still not thick enough to pass the wobble test.
Dakota Staton ? Candy Staton ?
Brownsville Staton? Graham Central Staton?
Don Cherry? Don Cherry? Don Cherry?
Candi Stoton? Tiffany Staton ?
You can have it back.
Well, that was the Brasilian way, back then. See: Os Mutantes, Gilberto Gil, Caetano Veloso, Gal Costa, etc.
And I'll second that order. The s/t on UA was kind of a compilation, at that. The late Fame label and logo on the cover are giveaways.

1975 LP with Rick Hall production
I have a 45 from this LP that is pretty sick.
Anyone who has the LP care to drop a review?
boring. I got one in my trade crates if you'd really like to get at one
Tepid at best.
Perhaps your 45 is a non-album cut?
Yes to Faux's opinion. The album is stunningly anemic considering the potential.
And yes, the non-album 45 by the Fame Gang is pretty good:
Fame 1458: Fame Gang - Grits And Gravy / Soul Feud
... and that's the one I have.
VINDICATED[/b]
The LP is not nearly as good as the 2 singles. Cop those and pick up the album for under $5 only.
Fair enough. I'm speaking from the completist's perspective.
Wait - you're collecting everything on Fame?
Doh!
I have never picked up that Clarence Carter, how is it?
and I don't think I've even heard of the Travis Wammack, anyone got a review?
Not gonna be everyone's thing, but about
as soulful as a southern rock LP can get.
Charged-up cover of "Funk #49" and a surprisingly
good version of the FAME standard "You Better Move On."
a couple more on Fame from the early 70's, maybe they
come post-UA distro? The CC albums are on some grown &
