"Just pull out all the stops and get organised!" - bad puns from the liner notes

This disc highlights '60s instrumental R&B (heavy on the B) tunes that feature the Hammond organ. I had high hopes for this compilation, and while it is enjoyable, I'm a little disappointed in it overall - there's no "wow" moment to be found. Still, I'd probably buy volume one if I saw it.
