Where it came from
The Original Dyaks recorded Got To Get A Good Thing Going in 1967, a period when the British mod and R&B scenes were seeking fresh talent to capture the energy of dancehall soul. Released on the Columbia label under catalog number DB 8184, the track serves as a quintessential example of mid-sixties UK studio production, aiming to replicate the polished, rhythmic drive of American soul music for domestic audiences.
The session was intended to position the group within the vibrant landscape of the London club circuit, though the recording remains a deep cut in the Columbia catalog. The composition features the tight arrangements characteristic of the era's light orchestral soul, reflecting a design ethos that favored brisk tempos and brass-heavy textures intended for broadcast radio and club play. Despite the backing of a major label, the release did not achieve widespread commercial success, leaving it as a sought-after rarity among collectors of British beat and blue-eyed soul.
