The Sweet Sounds of Muscle Shoals: Vol. 4 - "More Power to Ya!"

Well, I finally my grubby little mitts on a copy of the 4th volume of The Sweet Sounds of Muscle Shoals!!!! It's a vinyl copy which means the songs are slightly different than the cd version. Also, since I'm still burning my vinyl to a cd recorder connected to my stereo, there's a few little noise on some of the tracks.
Now I gotta say I don't think Volume 4 is quite good as the previous three, but there's still a lot of good stuff - my faves are Bill Brandon's "All I Need is You" and Tony Borders "Gentle on My Mind".

(Btw, as someone informed me in the comments section when I posted the previous three volumes, there is a Volume 5, but that one seems really rare.)

There were five LPs but four CDs. I was happy to pick up the latter set in New York City in the 90's. It made me a real fan of Tony Borders.

I once worked out which tracks were not on the CDs and vice versa, but now I can't find the result. Sorry...

@leifko - Do you know if there are songs on the 5th lp that aren't on any of the cds?
