Description
This 1976 Spring release was the Fatback Band's 3rd album and was perhaps the turning point for the band particularly in the UK. Featuring3 of their all time greatest hits "(Are You Ready) Do The Bus Stop", "(Do The) Spanish Hustle" and "Party Time", Raising Hell is a sublime piece of 70s funk. Anyone who has seen the band perform live in the last few years will know that these numbers are show stoppers and the band's vast legion of whistle blowing fans go ape every time they hear them!
Description
Formed by drummer Bill Curtis in 1970 the Fatback band started off as a funk band although when disco began to break in 1974, they added that four to the floor wrinkle to their sound to serve up some classics. In 1975 Fatback released both their 5th and 6th LPs - "Yum Yum"� and "Raising Hell"� - in the same year. Although singles had been released Stateside as early as 1971, it was not until 1975 that Fatback began to appear on singles here. Their third UK 7"� - 'Yum Yum (Gimme Some)' - got to number 40 in the UK charts in August. Later in November, 'Are You Ready (To Do The Bus Stop)' got to number 18 which helped propel the "Raising Hell"� LP into the top 20. This album also spawned the Top 10 hit 'Spanish Hustle' in early 1976. Both "Yum Yum"� and "Raising Hell"� have been out of print on vinyl for decades. These new editions allow funky Fatback fans to drop the needle and get back into the groove.
