A lot of Georgie Fame out there right now. The box set is pretty much a must buy and the Georgie Fame Heard Them Here First compilation via Ace looks fascinating too. Tip of the hat to @monkeypicks for letting us know.

It is what you expect it to be, which is a selection of the tracks that inspired Georgie Fame in his formative years as a musician in the clubs and indeed, covered by the man himself in his own style back in the day. Indeed, Georgie managed to release versions of some of these tracks before they were released in the UK.

So what you get are tracks mainly from the early to mid-1960s, including the original versions of Yeh Yeh! and Sitting In The Park, as well as a host of lesser-known tunes and some bona fide rarities – even for mod / R&B collectors.

25 tracks in total, all of which are listed below. If you want the album, it is released on 30th October 2015 but available to pre-order now, selling for £11.99.
