Quite a rare one I think. Very nice upbeat Swinging London style stuff with occasional vocals. Much more of a soul edge than most of the records I picked up. Still not exactly soul, but just more beaty and with more insistent basslines. Towards the end of the first side comes ‘Soul Thing’, a very cool beaty piano version of a tune I’ve heard in an organ funk version on compilations of KPM library material. The side ends with a version of ‘Moanin’ with a nice Hammond organ and some interesting vocals; the only other vocal version of this track I had heard was Lambert, Hendricks and Ross. This one is more hip, with latin percussion, organ and big brass. The second side opens with a tasty version of ‘Walk on by’ (they’re all pretty tasty for me). There’s another good original called ‘Boogaloo’. A very nice album
