TripleB is by Johnny Griffith and the Billy Sha Rae Band, I'm guessing that it's a goodly number of the Funk Bros on there given the connections. Tis the best ( and cheapest) version for me Tony

August 16, 200915 yr The Gayletts do a nice rocksteady version of Son of A Preacher Man on Hourglass... I assumed that Hourglass was a US label releasing Jamaican titles. Can anyone shed some light on this?
