Georgie Fame & the Blue Flames' third album very much follows in the footsteps of its predecessors, a punchy R&B stomper that could (even should) have been recorded live, so high is the energy, and so abandoned the backing of the Blue Flames. This is especially apparent on side two of the original vinyl, as the band all-but replicate the closing run of a hot and sweaty club gig, pounding through an electrifyingly note-perfect "My Girl," a rattling "The Whole World's Shaking" and a truly incredible version of "The In Crowd," all honking horns and smooth-flowing Hammond. Don Covay's "See Saw" is another jewel, but for sheer audacity, the highlight has to be calypso king Lord Kitchener's gleefully risqué "Dr Kitch," a percussively swaying romp that only grows more delightful as it becomes apparent that Fame himself is having trouble delivering the lyric straight-faced -- the story of a doctor attempting to administer an injection to a nervous young lady, after all, is so rife with double meaning that it is virtually a sex act in its own right.
Not quite up to the standard of the group's debut (which, of course, was recorded live), Sweet Thing is nevertheless one of the finest British R&B albums of the mid-'60s, and one of the last to illustrate just how many possibilities were still open to the U.K. scene at that time. The journey from soft soul to rude calypso, via every musical shade in between, was not one that many performers were willing to take, after all. Fame and co, on the other hand, make the journey in record time.
