More Exciting & Dynamic Sounds Of The Hammond B3 Organ vinyl

Although the Hammond B3 organ went in sale in 1954, it wasn't until jazz keyboardist Jimmy Smith started using it on his recordings a couple of years later that its popularity began to rocket. By the 60s and 70s, the B3 was the go-to keyboard/organ for many funk and soul bands. This compilation - the second Hammond-focused collection from the crate diggers at Perfect Toy Records - does a great job in showcasing obscure, B3-heavy tracks from the instrument's heyday, focusing largely (but not entirely) on instrumental funk and the kind of heavy rhythm & blues tracks that have always set Mods' hearts racing. It's a killer collection all told, and one packed to the rafters with weight drum-breaks, fiery horns, rugged guitar riffs and - of course - hammered-out Hammond solos.
