Tommy Tate - I'm So Satisfied The Complete Ko Ko Recordings and More

Tommy Tate has never been prolific in his recorded output, but almost everything he's ever recorded is highly rated in Soul circles. This CD brings together everything that Tate recorded for Ko Ko records between 1971 and 1977, and adds three tracks that he cut for Stax just prior to the earliest of his Ko Ko sessions, as lead singer of the Nightingales. The only previous issue of the Ko Ko material on CD came more than 10 years ago, via a Japanese limited edition that sold out almost as soon as it was pressed. Demand for these tracks has increased considerably through that limited run, and the exposure that 'If You've Got to Love Somebody', in particular, has received via both the Northern and Modern Soul scenes.
