The Price to Play is the debut album by the Alan Price Set, released in 1966. It was released in the UK only, although some tracks would later come out in the US. Fronting a six-piece band that includes three horns, Price sticks mostly to covers of familiar American rhythm and blues and soul tunes.[2]
