THE SIDEWINDERS ~ FLATFOOT HUSTLIN' RARE FUNK LP 1st PRESS ORIGINAL ~ HOLY GRAIL GEM

 
 

THIS IS ONE OF ONLY A FEW COPIES THAT HAVE EVER BEEN LISTED ON EBAY!!
ULTRA SCARCE! I HAVE SOLD 2 OTHER COPIES IN THE PAST 3 YEARS AND THIS IS MY LAST ONE. OF COURSE I KEPT THE BEST FOR LAST!!! CIRCUMSTANCES HAVE DICTATED THAT I MUST SELL MY KEEPER COPY, SO IT WILL BE SOLD IN THE NEXT 2 WEEKS, HERE OR ELSEWHERE!

A very nice ORIGINAL copy of the Sidewinders funk LP "Flatfoot Hustlin" out of my hometown Halifax, Nova Scotia. One of the rarest LP's of all time & LISTED IN THE HOLY GRAIL, only showing up online an average of once every 2 years.

LP REVIEW:

Rare Canadian funk from the 70s -- played by a hip little group who've also got a jazzy flavor too! The Sidewinders are a bit like American ensemble funk acts of the time -- in that they can have an upbeat, tight approach to the groove when they want -- but they also have a great ear for some gentler moments too, and sparkle almost even more on some of the ballad numbers on the set. Even the fuller groovers have some great standout elements -- including sax bits that soar nicely out of the larger horn section -- and overall, the album's got a great sense of character and personality, and is far more than just a few cats from up north trying to copy an American groove. Titles include "I Like Your Stuff", "A Voyage", "I Like To Dance", "Time For Loving", "Flat Foot Hustlin", "Can't You Feel The Fire", and "Gift To The Sun".

 

 

No.11 in Jazzman's questing Holy Grail Series is The Sidewinders' mid-'70s rare funk obscurity 'Flatfoot Hustlin'. A professional touring band with many years experience on the circuit, The Sidewinders weirdly enough happened to cut this album at an unheated studio in Nova Scotia, Canada - hardly the place you expect this kinda soul heat to come from! This is some prime funk and soul with a highly sought-after status hence the $2000+ price tag for an original.
