Gotta Get A Good Thing Goin' is the first box set to document the huge influence of Black music in Britain in the 1960s. With 115 tracks, the deluxe long form box set includes sleevenotes including an essay from Fitzroy Facey (Soul Survivors) A four-CD compilation that pays tribute to a lost era. While many of the decade's most successful UK bands (The Beatles, The Rolling Stones et al) were originally inspired and influenced by Black American soul and R\u0026amp;B, it could be argued that Black artists recording in Britain at the time weren't given the exposure they deserved. The first two discs of Gotta Get A Good Thing Goin' document the explosion of homegrown Soul and Rhythm and Blues which reflected the growing success of labels such as Motown and Stax\/ Atlantic, which spearheaded the plethora of Black music emanating from the States. However, Soul and R\u0026amp;B aren't the only genres catered for here. While Disc 3 is devoted to the homespun Ska, Rocksteady and Reggae from artists who'd often been born in the Caribbean, Disc 4 reflects a wider range of styles including choice selections from many stars of their day. Gotta Get A Good Thing Goin' boasts numerous tracks new to CD and includes many 45s which now command three figure sums on the collector's market. With comprehensive sleevenotes and artist biographies, a plethora of rare images and photos and newly remastered sound, this is a fitting homage to a golden era in Black British music.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklist: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Soul Brothers -Gotta Get a Good Thing Goin'\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e The Flirtations -Nothing But a Heartache\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Carl Douglas -Serving a Sentence of Life\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Jimmy Thomas- Springtime\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Jimmy James and the Vagabonds- This Heart of Mine\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Jackie Edwards- Come on Home\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Chris Rayburn- One Way Ticket\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Herbie Goins and the Night-Timers Coming Home to You\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Jimmy Cliff- Waterfall\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e The Ferris -Wheel I Can't Break the Habit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Geno Washington ; the Ram Jam Band-Michael\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Cleo Laine- Don't You Pass Me By\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Danny Williams- Whose Little Girl Are You\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Madeline Bell- Picture Me Gone\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Watson T Browne and the Explosive-Some Lovin'\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Ebony Keyes- If You Knew\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Sugar Simone- Take It Easy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Kim D the Real Thing-Brothers Grimm Looky Looky\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Lucas and the Mike Cotton Sound Ain't-Love Good Ain't Love Proud\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e The Fantastics- Ask the Lonely\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Oliver Norman- Drowning in My Own Despair\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Owen Gray -Gonna Work Out Fine\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e John L Watson and the Hummelflugs-Lookin' for Love\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Kenny Lynch- Movin' Away\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Root and Jenny Jackson- Let's Go Somewhere\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Kenny Bernard -What Love Brings\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Ram John Holder- Yes I Do\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Hoagy Benson- Turn Me on\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e The Chants- a Man Without a Face\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Marsha Hunt- Walk on Gilded Splinters\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e The Foundations- New Direction\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Caleb -Baby You're Phrasing Is Bad\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e John Fitch and Associates -Stoned Out of It\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Simon K and the Meantimers- Bring Back Your Love (To Me)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e The Sugarlumps -Can't We Be Friends 8 Flamma Sherman -Move Me\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Jack Hammer -What Greater Love\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e The Shadrocks (Featuring Little John) -There Is\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Clyde McPhatter- Only a Fool\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Ronnie Jones- I'm So Clean\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e This 'N' That- Get Down with It \/ I Can't Get No Satisfaction\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e JJ Jackson and the Jeeps -But It's Alright\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Ernest Ranglin and the GBS -Swing a Ling Pt.
