A very unusual collection – one that definitely features some great reed work from Joe Farrell and Paul Horn on some long tracks, but which also includes an unnamed female singer at points, and a blues harmonica player on the opening track! (Jazz) CD
(Heavy blue label pressing with deep groove. Cover has a split top seam & half split spine, light surface wear & aging. Includes the heavy inner sleeve.)
Wild stuff – and one of the oddest records we've ever heard! The work is truly a Symphony Of Birds – in that all the source material here was recorded in the field, out of the mouths of actual birds – but the overall execution is far different than just a bunch of birdcalls, and ...

The cover's a silly one, but the record is rock-solid all the way through – a wonderful blend of funky jazz and warmer soul, and a real lost treasure from the 70s TK Records empire! Fat is Fats Gallon – who plays drums on the record, and also sings lead vocals a bit too – with ... (Soul) read moreCD
One of the coolest combos working in Chicago these days – a trad jazz group with a really wonderful sound – one of the few modern groups who can really illustrate the improvisational excitement of jazz back in the Windy City scene of the 20s and 30s!

One of the better moments of the underground scene on Atlantic at the end of the 60s – a pretty cool little group led by Noel Redding!

(Yellow Broadway label stereo pressing. Cover has light surface wear.)
A wicked slow funk number from Fat Night – haunting, moody, and very very compelling! There's a slightly trippy feel to the track – maybe from the heavy echo used on the vocals – but the core groove of stepping guitar and drums almost takes us back to the best mellow harmony cuts ... (Funky 45's) read more7-inch, Vinyl record
Guitar, bass, and drums – all used in a style that's lean and funky – and which mixes elements of 60s soul jazz with some of the hipper modes of the 70s underground! The guitar of Addison Rifkind has this warmly chromatic vibe – and a way of wrapping chords around a groove that ... (Deep Funk) read moreLP, Vinyl record album
Definitely the high point of the Fatback band's later career, after they'd abbreviated their name, and adopted a slicker sound. One of our favorite bottom heavy 80s jams, from the cusp of the era. (Funky 45's) 7-inch, Vinyl record
A great little electro groover from Fatback – less funky and more beat-heavy than the group's other work – but a great crossover tune with a heck of a pretty hook! Dance version has a nice mix by Francois K, too! (Soul) 12-inch, Vinyl record
(In a Polygram sleeve.)

A bit of history! "King Tim III" is arguably the first-ever rap vocal on record and also not a bad bit of funk from Fatback! (Soul) 12-inch, Vinyl record
A key transitional record from Fatback – one that sits nicely between their earlier funk and later club years! The record clearly knows this aspect about itself – as side one is titled "Vintage – House Party", and features more longer-jamming takes on the grooves that ... (Soul) read moreCD
On the floor and on the couch with Fatback – a record that's split into a "hot funk" side and a "mellow madness" one!
