God, I love Irma Thomas

Made a CD of her early stuff ('62-'64) and I've been listening to it NON-STOP for three days now! I can't stop, and it keeps getting better! Wish "Gone" had been included on Steve's collection. She is way to underrated!
If you don't know her stuff, do yourself a favor and check her out!

If I was going to try out some vinyl first, any recommendation?

For me, earlier is better. "Wish Someone Would Care," would probably be the best place to start. Or anything you can find on Minit Records.
