Fat - Fat / Footloose CD. Digipak reissue featuring both of their albums on one disc. Extremely accomplished debut from this Massachusetts band, originally released in 1970 in the US on RCA (LSP4368). Following the eponymous album's success, the band toured extensively as the opening act for the Allman Brothers. Fat's mix of east coast blues and west coast psychedelia, strongly influenced by Quicksilver Messenger Service et al, could have propelled the band into the big time, but an unfortunate drug bust led RCA to cancel a planned follow-up album, and try as they might, the group were unable to secure another recording contract, although another album was released in the late '70s, produced by ex-Mountain man, Felix Papallardi. Both albums are featuring on this release.
