Georgie Fame - Somebody Stole My Thunder (2007)

Following his 1965 hit 'Yeh Yeh', Georgie Fame's star was on the rise. He signed to the mighty CBS Records in 1967 but the results might not have been entirely as his new label expected. As well as delivering several hits, Georgie recorded a string of Soul-Jazz classics, Soul covers and Jazz workouts which form the basis of this compilation. The sound is infectious and has been picked up by a new generation today, with songs such as 'Peaceful' turning up on club DJ playlists. Several of the tracks on this CD have never been issued on CD before and are much sought-after by collectors and fans, but the compilation as a whole acts as a superb introduction to an overlooked side to this great British artist's work. 24 tracks. 2007.
