 Remember the majestic organ work on The Beatles "Get Back"? That was Billy. Although probably best known through his association with The Beatles, "Billy's Bag" is chance to showcase Mr. Preston as a talent in his own right. Just prior to this release Preston had already made a name for himself as a very fine Piano and Hammond organ player on a number of soul/jazz/r&b albums released in the US . In the UK following tours with Sam Cooke and Little Richard some of Preston's singles made it to these shores and became turn table favourites at the Mod clubs, such as 'In The Midnight Hour' and the self penned title track 'Billy's Bag'.Soul Derby / Don't Let The Sun Catch You Crying / Steady Getting It / The Octopus / I Am Coming Through / Billy's Bag / Low Down / Let Me Know / Slippin' And Slidin' / Can't You Hear My Heartbeat / Shotgun / Soul Meeting / How Great Thou Art
