What Is Success: The Scepter and Bell Recordings

This CD restores to catalogue Toussaint’s second album the first that he released under his own name titled originally “”Toussaint””, then renamed “”From a Whisper to a Scream””, augmented with the A and B-sides of three Bell 45s from 1968 and 1969. Five of these have never been reissued in 35+ years. Originally released on vinyl on Scepter Records in 1970, New Orleans’ eminent musical genius’s solo LP was largely overlooked at the time but is nowadays considered to be a real masterpiece of Crescent City Soul.
