GEORGIE FAME Mod Classics 1964-66 (2010 issue UK 2-LP vinyl set - This is the first vinyl compilation of Georgie Fame's Columbia recordings since 1979's 'Beat Classics' and is designed to complement that seminal work. Whilst 'Beat Classics' wentfor the hits and the singles, 'Mod Classics' goes for the dancefloor appeal of 24 tracks that mix jazz, rhythm and blues and soul. Cuts such as 'El Bandido', 'Last Night', 'Sweet Thing' and 'Outrage' are seminal mod club classics, while hisalbum 'Sound Venture' showed Georgie to be the hippest cat in town with a band featuring Tubby Hayes, Ronnie Scott and many of the hottest names of British jazz. The cut 'Dawn Yawn', from that album, written by Georgie, is a masterpiece describing a trawl through Soho clubs and the melancholia of an early morning trip home. This compilation shows that there was more to Georgie Fame than the hits of 'Yeh, Yeh!' and 'Getaway' – this is the Georgie of the Flamingo All-Nighter, a man worshipped by the mods. This item comes in a single pocket picture sleeve which has a couple of minor creases and the vinyl remains in near as new condition).
