VA - Snatch And Grab It! (Rhythm & Blues Classics) (2008)

2008 compilation celebrating the Bear Family label's 33rd anniversary/birthday. All of these recordings are taken from Bear Family's catalog of R&B related music. Some of these songs aren't very familiar; in fact, some of the artists aren't very familiar, but this is a jumpin' little record. For every well-known song, like the Platters' 'Goodnight Sweetheart, It's Time To Go', there's half-a-dozen gloriously obscure tracks, like 'For You My Love' by Nellie Lutcher. This is a true alternative history of R&B. Thirty-three flashes from the archives of oblivion, courtesy of Bear Family!
