Vinyl LP pressing. UK collection. In that enticing, enthralling school of 1960s "girls with guitars", Goldie & the Gingerbreads are top of the class. Self-contained and accomplishe d as instrumentalists, with an eminently soulful vocal prowess, the Gingerbreads remain true pioneers of women in rock'n'roll, and with a fascinating history to boot. Born in the discotheques of Gotham, Goldie & the Gingerbreads were a popular club act with a handful of recordings under their belt when an admiring Animals caught them on a NYC visit in late 1964. Imported into the UK, the group scored a hit with 'Can't You Hear My Heartbeat' and went on to tour with the Rolling Stones, Kinks and others, as well as maintaining a high visibility in the UK on their own. Thinking About The Good Times is the first-ever Goldie & the Gingerbreads collection, and it's a fine testament to their undoubted abilities. Gathering together their sessions for Scepter, Decca and Atlantic, the versatility of the group is quite apparent on tracks that range from chunky beat and R&B ('Look For Me Baby', 'Think About The Good Times') through dramatic soul balladry ('That's Why I Love You', 'Little Boy') to classic girl group sounds ('Sailor Boy', 'Something Beautiful').
