The record
Percy France hollers the blues over a Hammond thick with after-hours smoke, Kenny Burrell's chords never rushing the tempo. This Blue Note date runs on pure feel, funk before anyone called it that.

Pressings
The earliest on file is a 1961 US mono, BLP 4050, with a Van Gelder stamp and a Plastylite ear; a 1961 stereo shares the catalog stem 84050. Deep-groove monos follow in 1962 and 1964 with New York USA labels, and a 1965 stereo 84050 lists deep groove, the stamp and the ear together -- the best-marked stereo here. Worth knowing before you bid: the 2021 French BLP 4050 on Rat Pack Records is listed as an unofficial release.
