DESCRIPTION
US funky drummer Les DeMerle who is one of the representations of rare groove scenes. his 1st album which was released in 1968 is finally reissued as vinyl for the first time! Many killer tracks for diggers are included, such as "A Day In The Life" which is also known as sampling material of HIP HOP classic OC "Time's Up" and the US No.1 hit great funk number "Aquarius" by Fifth Dimension.
In addition, great musicians were joined for this great funk album such as Frank Foster, Lew Tabackin, Arnie Lawrence, Charles Sullivan etc...you can find how young Les DeMerle was a talented drummer even though he was just around 20 years old at that time!
