Sam Lazar made three LPs during his musical career and all of them were for Chicago's Chess family of labels and released on their Argo Records subsidary. This CD  opens with Sam Lazar's recording debut Space Flight Parts 1 and 2 and includes the first two LPs Space Flight and Playback.  The Space Flight single that opens this set is a totally different version to the one that appears on track 8 and features the great jazz guitarist Grant Green who is possibly making his recording debut on this track. It is also worth noting that Track 11 'Big Willie' is a rerecording of Space Flight Part 2 and renamed in honour of Willie Dixon who recorded bass for the session.  Lazar is certainly an early pioneer of the soul/blues drenched genre of organ players and his albums are highly collectable amongst Hammond B3 collectors..............
