Hipsters Flipsters was the follow up album from the most explosive live soul artist performing in Britain during the mid sixties. This is where the Mods let their hair down. (UK:8)

"Imagine yourself in Soho in 1967 - you've made it past the bouncers with your two-tone suit and your slim black knitted tie, but will the soul brother GIs down for the weekend from the US bases in Norfolk really accept you as you start to bop and clap to the infectious beat? Basically, who cares - that's the message here - grab a Babycham or a Watneys Red Barrel and enjoy this hot sweaty cellar of an LP. You're going to boogie till dawn, to the soul sound of bass, horn, sax and that funky, wunnerful guy Geno Washington. No one keeps their feet still to this one."

"This is for all of us who remember the young Geno and The Ram Jam Band juicing up the joints at clubs and pubs all over the country in the sixties."

"Geno Washington is a pleasure to listen too. A stomping voice and the tracks are brought to life by The Ram Jam Band. True gritty soul music and a performance from the heart. I fell in love with the music in the 1960s and for me it is still as fresh and vibrant as it was in that decade. Well worth listening to."

"This was one of the most funky and exiting bands on the music circuit in the sixties. When Geno came on to the crowd chants of 'Geno, Geno, Geno' we all knew it was party time full of rockin' soul and rhythm 'n' blues. We knew the songs and joined in with this band who could get any place rocking in minutes. Surely one of the great live bands of the sixties. Live they were totally awesome."

"We all loved Geno and the band so much at their peak, and do you know it still sounds great today. I'm sure the young generation would love this music just as much as we did. Get in the groove, get those old sneakers out and enjoy once again this totally fabulous band at their very peak in funky music. If you like your soul/mod tunes you’ll love it."
