Monkey

Can't say I'd heard of this release, but R&B Hipshakers Volume 1 (aka teach me To Monkey) on the Vampisoul label seems will worth investigating.

It's compiled by Mr Fine Wine (of Downtown Soulville radio show and podcast fame), pulling tracks from the Federal and King vaults, ranging from '56 to '67 – everything from dancers and instrumentals through to weirdness and love songs if the online sleevenotes are anything to go by.

Check out over the page for the full tracklisting. But here's the good bit – you can get it on CD and as a 10x 7-inch box set, the latter available for 45 Euros online. You can get the CD for around £9 at Amazon.
