"A beautifully done look at the music of Harvey Scales -- a damn funky cat from the Milwaukee scene, finally getting his due! The package is overflowing with groovers -- hard funky 45 cuts that Scales recorded for the Magic Touch label -- mostly in the late 60s and start of the 70s -- wrapped up here in a lavish booklet that's filled with well-researched notes, and vintage photos -- a set that really sets a whole new standard for the Tuff City label! Scales' groove is one that we've always loved on 45 -- a dancefloor-directed version of soul that falls somewhere in a space between Archie Bell & The Drells and Dyke & The Blazers -- but with a heavier sound overall. Yet having all these cuts together in one place seems to give them even more intensity than before -- a powerhouse package of 20 rare tracks that run the gamut from upbeat soul to heavy funk to a few early disco numbers as well. Beautifully done package -- with an almost Numero-like feel inside the booklet!"
