This compilation album was released by Atlantic Records in 1964, capitalizing on Solomon Burke's growing success. It includes recordings from previous sessions, many produced by Bert Berns.
The title plays on the double meaning of 'rest' (repose/remainder), suggesting both a break and additional material. It was not a conceptual album but a collection of singles and B-sides.
Although it did not chart as an album, it contains key tracks that solidified his soul style. The cover shows Burke with a serious expression, reflecting his 'King of Rock and Soul' image.
