I Wish I Knew [Colored Vinyl] (Gol) [Limited Edition] [180 Gram] (Hol) (ONLINE ORDER ONLY)

Limited edition of 750 numbered copies on gold coloured 180-gram audiophile vinyl. Released in 1968, I Wish I Knew found Burke battling with the changing times, which in turn led to changing musical styles and sounds, which is why your first thought upon listening to the LP may be to question some of the production choices. Indeed, it's arguably a little more psychedelic at times than Burke's material deserved, but the performances found within it's grooves are still just as solid as you'd expect from an artist of his reputation. The song you're most likely to already know is, perhaps unsurprisingly, the title track, "I Wish I Knew How It Would Feel to Be Free," which did manage to hit the Hot 100. Other singles on the album included "Save It," "Get Out of My Life, Woman,". While there's definitely an unabashed '68 sound to them, you still can't go wrong with Solomon Burke.
