VA - Something Good From The Goffin & King Songbook

The Brill Building hits (and more obscure gems) just keep comin' with Ace Records' third compilation of tunes by the legendary songwriting team of Gerry Goffin and Carole King. Pure pop for now—and thenpeople!

"No songwriters of the era articulated the emotions of adolescence and the pains of teen-dom with quite the same mix of innocence and sophistication of Goffin and King; they were, after all, still teenagers themselves when they were crafting much of this material, experiencing the same emotions as their audience. Even so, you might think that, this being Ace’s third collection of their compositions, the well of hits might have run dry. But then Something Good opens with The Drifters' joyous 'At The Club' (the superior and rarely heard single version), and you know that once again Mick Patrick and Tony Rounce have served up another peerless compilation of classics, near misses and lost obscurities." - Ace Records
