The Price to Play

Untitled

The Price to Play The Alan Price Set is album released in 1966 by singer songwriter Alan Price.

Debut album from Alan Price & The Alan Price Set (released in the U.K. only, although some tracks would come out in the U.S.) is a rather routine set of club R&B/soul. Fronting a six-piece that includes three horns, Price sticks mostly to covers of familiar American tunes like "Mercy Mercy," "Ain't That Peculiar," "I Can't Turn You Loose" and "Barefootin'".
