All of the recordings on Snatch and Grab It are taken from Bear Family's catalog of R&B related music.
Some of these songs aren't very familiar; in fact, some of the artists aren't very familiar, but this is a jumpin' little record. For every well-known song, like the Platters' Goodnight Sweetheart, It's Time To Go, there's half-a-dozen gloriously obscure tracks, like For You My Love by Nellie Lutcher.
This is a true alternative history of R&B. Thirty-three flashes from the archives of oblivion, courtesy of Bear Family!
