Two songs in, the Wall Of Sound hits with "Who Would Want Me Now," a deep soul ballad that brings to mind the intensity of Loraine Ellison's "Stay With Me." The remaining 24 tracks here also impress, and make you wonder how much soul/funk is still out there waiting to be discovered! The big reissue surprise of 2012 so far.
"On a remarkably consistent five-year span of singles from 1963 to 1968, this Bay Area-born gal trio indulged equally in searing balladry, gritty gospel laced-R&B, and infectious pop, mastering them all with soulful aplomb. Absolutely Right! contains the Apollas’ impeccable mid-'60s oeuvre collected in one place, with the unexpected bonus of several unissued cuts, including Leola Jiles’ heartbreaking masterpiece 'I’ve Got So Used To Loving You.'" - Ace Records
