This isn't a definitive British invasion collection, as the title might lead you to believe, but a collection of 20 rare R&B/punk-influenced sides that are coveted by aficionados of the style. In other words, it's only for us geeks who make trips to New York and London and put record-hunting in specialist stores high on the agenda. So this LP might be as noteworthy for its discographical value as its musical merits, including pricy items by the Wheels, the Sorrows, Better Days, Listen (Robert Plant's pre-Led Zep outfit), and the rare fourth single by the Birds (Ron Wood's first band). It's not the greatest collection of overlooked British R&B around, but it's alright, and occasionally torrid (the Wheels and the Sorrows especially). It's also interesting for the inclusion of Shel Naylor's "One Fine Day," written by Dave Davies, but never recorded by the Kinks. (Richie Unterberger, Allmusic)

MARIE KNIGHT - Hallelujah What a Song (1946-1951) @320
HER CLASSIC SIDES FROM THE GLORY DAYS
22 tracks recorded between 1946 and 51 by this fine and important gospel vocalist. Includes collaborations with the Sam Price Trio/ Quartet, The Nightingales, Sister Rosetta Tharpe, The Susnet Four and others. (Roots & Rhythm)
Marie Knight belongs to the select group of great soloists in the history of Afro-American gospel. This 22 track compilation features her work from 1946-51, and includes her collaborations with the Sam Price Trio/Quartet, the Nightingales, Sister Rosetta Tharpe, the Sunset Four, the Dependable Boys and others. Although she is a top gospel soloist, Marie has been more or less invisible to the gospel world at large during the last two decades, and in the fall of 2001, it was revealed through gospel expert Anthony Heilbut that Marie was still active as a singing pastor in New York.

JIMMY McGRIFF - Soul Sugar ’70 @320
A fantastic album, and one of Jimmy's hardest to find! The set is quite different than most of Jimmy's other work – and it features short, hard, funky tracks that feel more like obscure 7" singles than any of Jimmy's straighter soul jazz work. It almost sounds like The JBs are backing him – as the drums are tight, bass is great, and the overall groove is fantastic! The record's a little like Jimmy's Electric Funk album, but harder, with more breaks and basslines – and a non-stop groove that's a pure delight for any fan of deep funk! Great stuff, with "Ain't It Funky Now", "The Now Thing", "Fat Cakes", "New Volume", and "Bug Out". © 1996-2015, Dusty Groove, Inc.

JIMMY McGRIFF- Groove Grease ’71 @320
A nice bit of funky organ work from Jimmy McGriff! The record's recorded with a slightly larger than usual band – but that's a good thing here, as players like Horace Ott, Cliff Davis, Richard Evans, and Everett Barksdale provide a strong bouncy groove, which Jimmy uses to solo over the top with some lean, mean funky Hammond solos! The album's got some excellent stone funky classics – like "The Bird", "Groove Grease", and "Plain Brown Bag" – plus some surprisingly funky readings of standards like "Canadian Sunset" and "Mr Lucky", both made to sound super-nice, thanks to excellent work on bass and drums! © 1996-2015, Dusty Groove, Inc.

great post, as always, thanks
One of my favorite era/styles of 60s music -- thanks!
Sometime in the very early 70s I found a Jimmy McGriff album in a cutout bin for 88 cents. I had never heard of Jimmy McGriff but on the cover he was sitting on at an organ so I thought the record might be pretty cool, and it was. I really don't know too much, I admit, but I thought this was just a one off album that didn't sell. Until today.
Thanks, Gyro. Looking at McGriff's discography I find that he has released many albums over the years. I look forward to checking him out yet again.

I've been a big fan of Jimmy McGriff since 1965, when I heard some of this album on the radio. I don't think he's ever sounded funkier. If you don't have this, you'll enjoy it!

Thanks especially to Gyro for the McGriff and Knight. A little B3 grease to go with Sunday breakfast, then some gospel salvation. Life is sweet.
