One of Billy's best, and it's got a hard wailing raw groove that's missing from a lot of his later work! There's a very churchy sound in the organ, with all the stops open and a very large sound coming out of the speaker – and Billy wails in a manner that's similar to some of Jimmy McGriff's early work – nice and heavy at the bottom, with plenty of fluttering notes at the top! Titles include "Soul Meetin", "Billy's Bag", "Low Down", "Slippin & Slidin", and "The Octopus". LP, Vinyl record album
(Stereo rainbow label pressing with deep groove. Cover has some wear on the bottom seam with a small split – but is nice otherwise!)
One of Billy's best, and it's got a pretty tight instrumental groove that's similar to some of Jimmy McGriff's work for the Sue and Veep labels. Billy's organ fronts some groovy and offbeat arrangements by Sly Stone – and although the set list includes a number of late 60s hits, the overall approach is pretty fresh. Titles include "Free Funk", "The Duck", "Hard Day's Night", "Uptight", "Ain't Got No Time To Play", and "It's Got To Happen". Also features one vocal cut – "Advice" – written with Sly. LP, Vinyl record album
(Stereo rainbow label pressing. Vinyl plays with a short click on "I Got You". Cover is great!)
Music from The Platters, Sil Austin, Ricky Nelson, Bill Justis, The Diamonds, Connie Francis, Sheb Wooley, Tommy Edwards, Big Bopper, Brook Benton, Phil Phillips With The Twilights, Johnny Preston, Mark Dinning, Conway Twitty, and Jimmy Jones. CD
