At Caesar's Palace showcases The Checkmates Ltd. at full tilt, turning soul and R\u0026amp;B into a polished, crowd-pleasing revue. Issued in 1967, the album presents the group’s exuberant stage act with dramatic arrangements, sharp vocal interplay and a repertoire that draws on standards and contemporary favourites. Their take on songs such as Sunny, You’ve Lost That Lovin’ Feelin’ and Hold On, I’m Comin’ highlights the group’s gift for lifting familiar material with theatrical flair and ensemble energy. In the era of polished live soul records, it stands as a lively example of Las Vegas-style sophistication meeting rhythmic urgency.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \n\n    \n  \u003c\/li\u003e\n\n  \u003c!-- Release tab content --\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n    \u003cdiv\u003e\n        \n        \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eArtist: \u003c\/strong\u003e The Checkmates Ltd.\u003c\/div\u003e\n        \n        \n        \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLabel: \u003c\/strong\u003e \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/capitol-records-record-label\"\u003eCapitol Records\u003c\/a\u003e – SENC 9555\u003c\/div\u003e\n        \n        \n          \n          \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFormat: \u003c\/strong\u003e LP, Album\u003c\/div\u003e\n          \n        \n        \n        \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUnits: \u003c\/strong\u003e 1\u003c\/div\u003e\n        \n        \n        \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCountry: \u003c\/strong\u003e \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/vinyl-records-store-australia\/country_australia\"\u003eAustralia\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n        \n        \n        \n        \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eReleased: \u003c\/strong\u003e  \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/all\/year_1967\"\u003e1967\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n        \n        \n        \n        \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGenre: \u003c\/strong\u003e\n          \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/funk-soul-music-vinyl-records\"\u003eSoul \u0026amp; Funk\u003c\/a\u003e\n        \u003c\/div\u003e\n        \n        \n        \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStyle: \u003c\/strong\u003e\n          \n            \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/rhythm-blues\"\u003eRhythm \u0026amp; Blues\u003c\/a\u003e\n          \n        \u003c\/div\u003e\n        \n        \n    \u003c\/div\u003e\n  \u003c\/li\u003e\n\n  \u003c!-- Tracklist tab content --\u003e\n  \n  \u003cli\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eA1 \u003ca rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/results?search_query=The+Checkmates+Ltd.+What'd+I+Say\"\u003eWhat'D I Say\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA2 \u003ca rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/results?search_query=The+Checkmates+Ltd.+Can+I+Get+A+Witness\"\u003eCan I Get A Witness\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA3 \u003ca rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/results?search_query=The+Checkmates+Ltd.+Bread+And+Butter\"\u003eBread And Butter\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA4 \u003ca rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/results?search_query=The+Checkmates+Ltd.+Little+Bitty+Pretty+One\"\u003eLittle Bitty Pretty One\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA5 \u003ca rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/results?search_query=The+Checkmates+Ltd.+Rockin'+Robin\"\u003eRockin' Robin\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA6 \u003ca rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/results?search_query=The+Checkmates+Ltd.+Everybody+Loves+A+Lover\"\u003eEverybody Loves A Lover\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA7 \u003ca rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/results?search_query=The+Checkmates+Ltd.+Mr.+Lee\"\u003eMr. Lee\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003eB1 \u003ca rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/results?search_query=The+Checkmates+Ltd.+Show+Me\"\u003eShow Me\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003eB2 \u003ca rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/results?search_query=The+Checkmates+Ltd.+Ebb+Tide\"\u003eEbb Tide\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003eB3 \u003ca rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/results?search_query=The+Checkmates+Ltd.+Hold+On,+I'm+Comin'\"\u003eHold On, I'M Comin'\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003eB4 \u003ca rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/results?search_query=The+Checkmates+Ltd.+Baby+I+Need+Your+Lovin'\"\u003eBaby I Need Your Lovin'\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003c\/li\u003e\n  \n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n","brand":"Capitol Records","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44499756154945,"sku":"8480779","price":15.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1474\/5258\/files\/MzMtNjAzNS5qcGVn.jpg?v=1788157389"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.dutchvinyl.com.au\/collections\/the-checkmates-ltd-vinyl-records.oembed","provider":"Dutch Vinyl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
