SOUL7 022EP
|
The Sidewinders are back -- this time on 45! To satisfy the DJs, Jazzman has taken the best two tunes from The Sidewinders album and slapped 'em back-to-back on the most popular musical format. Why lug a bulky LP around just to play one song? Side 1 gives you a soulful dancer with a lean, funky edge and side 2 has more of an aggressive street-funk appeal. Fully-licensed and restored from the original master tapes. Limited to only 500 copies worldwide.

Jazzman Records' never-ending quest for the ultimate Holy Grail LP has encountered many precious rarities and sought-after gems on the way, and The Sidewinders' Flatfoot Hustlin' is no exception. Incredibly rare, so much so that it's only become known to collectors in recent years, here is another fantastic example of top-notch funk n' soul from the '70s that would surely be in everybody's record collection -- if only it had been pressed in numbers and properly released! It was a bitterly cold night in Nova Scotia, Canada (of all places?!) when the Sidewinders got together in an unheated studio for a couple of days to cut Flatfoot Hustlin', their first and only album. A professional touring band that had been on the circuit for many years, their sound was slick, solid and smooth. The recording was a wrap, a release was imminent -- but then things began to go wrong. The 8-page colored booklet with previously-unpublished photographs contains detailed liner notes from Jazzman's own exclusive interviews, revealing the story behind The Sidewinders and how this album came to be -- or not, as the case may be! What certainly is the case is that Flatfoot Hustlin' is a great-sounding rare funk album chock full of deep, soulful moments and full-on fat, funky grooves. Not to be missed!
