Billy Butler

The Right Tracks The Complete Okeh R Billy Butler Remastered edition

Presenting the 'holy grail' of 60s Chicago soul CDs - the first legitimate issue of the Complete OKeh Recordings of Billy Butler. Although never a big name in the way that his elder brother Jerry has always been in chart circles, Billy Butler is considered by soul fans to be synonymous with quality and excellence, his small catalogue of recordings outranking those of artists of far greater fame. The fans have been waiting for this CD for years. It's wholly appropriate that now it's here, it's on Kent. As well as the A- and B-sides of all of Billy's OKeh 45s, and the rare version of 'Found True Love' that was originally issued by accident on the stereo version of Billy's "Right Track" album, our CD features all of the surviving alternate takes and unissued tracks - both vocal and instrumental - that Billy left behind when he left OKeh for Brunswick in late 1966.
