 Drawn mainly from a pair of rare and sought-after UK-only LP's issued in the early 1970's under the name 'Birds n' Brass' on the Rediffusion label, the tracks were created by arranger and composer Keith Roberts, famous for his contributions to Scott Walker's classic albums. In addition we have 10 tracks never released on commercial vinyl, but were recorded for Rediffusion's production library.These tracks are played on by many of the top UK session players of the day with vocal contributions by Barbara Moore and today are considered lounge funk classics. 'Sort of Soul' and 'Fritzy Baby' were given a club DJ and collectors 7" release a couple of years ago, with the following PR spin: "'Fritzy Baby' is a superb, atmospheric slab of blaxploitation-styled jazz funk, with beautiful flute work, chunky wah guitar and lashings of big drums. Plenty of sample potential here!"
