Sam Cooke: Encore version on vinyl LP in Standard edition. This particular edition was published in Europe in publishing company Keen (2) in cooperation with ABKCO on 20. October 2023.

The albums on Keen Records represent Sam Cook's early work as a secular artist after he led the Soul Stirrers for six years. His voice had become a dominant force in gospel before the release of "You Send Me" and "Summertime". He was destined to become a major force in pop, just as he was in gospel. Sam Cooke found his voice not by imitating popular singers, but by his own unique interpretation of songs that others found remarkable. Sam Cooke's albums, Encore, Tribute To The Lady, Hit Kit, The Wonderful World Of Sam Cooke, Sam Cooke At The Copa, Keep Movin' On and Ain't That Good News are newly remastered on vinyl and collected as a CD box set.

Album spans genres Pop, Funk / Soul, Vocal, Rhythm & Blues and Soul.
