BUMPER TO BUMPER SOUL (1970)

(LP)

(Reissued on vinyl for the first time, LP with Japanese OBI-Strip) An early gem from the Kashmere Stage Band – and a record that already has the ensemble burning with plenty of fire! These guys were a one-unit powerhouse in American grooves – one of the few US groups who really got the same sort of funky big band energy that all the better European combos were hitting – like the hip groups who recorded for MPS around the same time!
