These are Barbara's early sides for Arctic Records; it's not complete, but the rest of her Arctic stuff appears on Oh How It Hurts, also on Bear Family. Buy both and you should have everything she recorded at Arctic. She cut as many remakes and originals, some were standards, which suggests Arctic had hopes of crossing her over to the pop market, which never happened to any significant degree. The remakes run the gamut from Archie Bell's "Tighten Up" to Barbara Lynn's "You'll Lose a Good Thing," a perfectly suited vehicle for Mason's innocent, sweet, aching voice. ~ Andrew Hamilton, All Music Guide
