Un morceau idéal pour Bluesy !
C'est plutôt roots pour ce topic, non ?

OOOOOH YEEEAAAAH !!!!! Merci pour le UP, RevPop.
"Pat's Rubber Band" c'est du FUNK lourd, pesant et avec ce qu'il faut de chaloupé pour balancer le bassin, avec des moments d'accalmie apportés par la partie cuivrée mais la rondeur groovesque légèrement marécageuse est d'enfer, répétition rythmique du titre pour atteindre les Dieux du Funk.

Sur le site du label qui le réédite cette année (voir post de Kata plus haut), EVERLAND MUSIC (AP-1000-B), il est indiqué une sortie à l'origine en 1977.
Le label explique très bien le contenu puissant de cette face A et comme tu le précises, le son fait très roots et le label souligne aussi cet aspect sonore.

One more extremely obscure 7 inch reissue on EVERLAND MUSIC.
Originals are impossible to find, so it actually makes sense to me, to make it available again to all the soul and funk collectors and probably new fans out there.

Recorded by the legendary Calvin Arnold, the title track is a groovy, simmering hot funk song as funky as it could be. Early 70s sound, although the music was recorded in 1977.
The B side contains a kind of spoken word performance, a phone call, as the title tells you. One guy, certainly the band’s singer, answering a phone call talking to someone whom he refers to as “The Devil” or “Mr. Boogeyman”. There are people in the background laughing. A strange track indeed.
The A side indeed is a killer tune and worth the few bucks for this great reissue alone.

Funk aficionados will grab a copy anyway.
This is a great dancefloor sweeper with a hypnotizing structure, beautiful horn section melodies, an ever pulsating groove, commanding spoken vocals and female singers in between.
Clever DJs should grab a copy to make their audience go wild.
A nifty little obscurity and worth having for fans of music as black as music can be.

Great sound, great interplay, steaming hot performance, this tune has everything you would want and is even a memorable effort. It stands the test of time...
