LP – Limited Edition Black Vinyl. 16 songs recorded for BBC radio between 1966 and 1967 – and all in superb quality sound.Georgie Fame was different. The bulk of “rhythm and blues” groups followed the Stones image: scruffy urchins who you probably wouldn’t invite around for tea, but his image was totally different. Georgie and the Blues Flames looked more likemembers of the Stax/Volt Revue than the Downliners Sect. And then there was the music. No harmonica and guitar Chicago blues here, Fame opted for a mix of jump blues mingled with early soul, the sort of music that had been emerging in US citieslike Memphis and Detroit. Hammond and horns playing jazz, Latin, Stax, ska and pure pop.
