Description
Official 12″ reissue of Freex Machine’s sought-after discoid-funk burner. Two underground groove-led gems recorded and released in 1979 on the New York indie-label Starbase Sounds.
The Freex Machine hailed from Corona, Queens and had emerged as an extension of the group Hooker, a teenage band of musicians that started performing together in the early 70s, earning a respected reputation locally. Whilst a handful of singles were released under various monikers, including Aura and Stars, the band’s distinct New York-centric live funk sound remained consistent.
At the helm of Starbase Sounds was multi-instrumentalist Steven Young and the Cadle Brothers trio: guitarist, lead vocalist and producer Ray Cadle, bassist Jules Cadle, and an older brother Karim as executive producer. The female background vocals were sang by the background singers from the Salsoul Orchestra
Rare as hens teeth. The 1979 pressing of this record has exchanged hands for £390 !!
