It came out in the UK on a Jump Up 45 (a subsidiary of Island Records) and isn't too difficult to get hold of (should cost about £15). I am a Georgie Fame fan, but in my opinion this is one of his weaker tracks from the classic 60s period. I just don't feel he pulls off the calypso vocal style very well at all. I quite like his attempts at ska though. His Rhythm & Blue Beat EP is pretty good.Jean-Paul Séculairehttp://ww.right-on.orgnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7758121285650208378.post-52241326534568859302009-10-04T23:17:36.449+02:002009-10-04T23:17:36.449+02:00Hi, pj.

It is also on Georgie Fame & the Blue Flames 1966 album "Sweet Thing". Both albums are hard to come by. They are probably for sale on amazon.com I hope this helps.

I've amended post to include your information.

I own the original Lp on Epic, from 1970 - it's in a very poor state, so i'm very happy to have a good rip.<br />on the back of the cover are notes written by Blossom Dearie (who wrote the song Sweet georgie fame) and she reveals the musicians on this lp: collin green lead guitar - alan skidmore tenor - brian odgers bass - harvey burns drums<br />to quote her: "the five people on this album are also attractive, bright and handsome young men" <br />but that was 39 years ago!<br />bye from another attractive bright and handsome old man <br />williamheupnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7758121285650208378.post-50001638001359635152009-06-21T01:03:58.445+02:002009-06-21T01:03:58.445+02:00Hey,Slidewell.

I'd still like more details about the album. Have you heard his "Going Home" album?

Too many different styles that don't quite go together. And Georgie's vocals are flat, both emotionally and technically. But, let me also say that this is a rare occurance here at AOOFC where otherwise I have found loads and loads of great, great music! thanks for all your hard work! BTW, did you check out the Headstone album upload? I'd love to hear what others have to say about that one.Slidewellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08576816966071417298noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7758121285650208378.post-19498773724419125192009-06-20T18:15:29.572+02:002009-06-20T18:15:29.572+02:00LINK
