FAME, GEORGIE & THE BLUE FLAMES
THE COMPLETE LIVE BROADCASTS II (RADIO & TV SESSIONS) (RHYTHM AN BLUES RECORDS)
Label:
RHYTHM AN BLUES RECORDS
What you have on this 2CD set is a glimpse into Georgie Fame's world circa 1964/65. It comprises 45 songs recorded for the BBC and others between 1964 and 1965 (mostly in excellent quality sound), including two exciting live audience performances broadcast direct from the legendary Ricky Tick Club in Windsor.
Fame was different; he played soul, blues, dance music, ballads, ska/blue beat, vocalese, big band jazz, hillbilly, New Orleans and even World Music, decades before that term was invented.
For anyone who wishes to explore this world, the 2CD set you have here offers the very best of guided tours.
To quote Georgie from "Night Train": All aboard children! 16 page booklet with notes by Dave Stephens.
