| Special 3CD Digipak bringing together all three of the hit live albums recorded for Piccadilly and Pye Records 1966 – 1968. On the live circuit in the late 1960s, Geno Washington & The Ram Jam Band were probably the biggest crowdpullers of them all. Relentless high-energy rock, blues, soul and R’n’B, and it was their live performances transferred to records that sold in huge numbers rather than the studio recordings. Released in December 1966, »Hand Clappin' Foot Stompin' Funky Butt…Live!« peaked at #5 in the Albums Chart and spent an incredible 38 weeks in the chart. »Hipsters, Flipsters, Finger-Poppin Daddies« immediately repeated the Top 10 feat, peaking at #8. The concerts all had an electric atmosphere and the crowd would chant Geno’s name – later immortalised by Dexys Midnight Runners 1980 number one hit. Remastered from the 60s tapes. |
