Haskins, Fuzzy
Radio Active (black)
RSD 2022 release. Fuzzy Haskins released two landmark solo albums on Westbound Records: 'A Whole Nother Thang' in 1976 and `Radio Active' in 1978. With his brand of earthy and heavyweight funk, Fuzzy Haskins' solo works fits right in with many of the other great P-Funk side projects and was sampled by renowned artists and acts from the likes of Prince, The Prodigy, N.W.A and Fatboy Slim. On 'Radio Active', Fuzzy switched between drums and guitar, while taking charge of the lead vocals and production, he was accompanied in the studio by an all-star musician line-up of P-Funk family members such as Jerome 'Bigfoot' Brailey (drums), Cordell 'Boogie' Mossom (bass), Gary Shider & Michael Hampton (guitars), Glen Goins (piano, drums & guitar) and Bernie Worrell on keyboards. `Radio Active' is filled with keyboard-driven spacey funk, sharp hooks, popping bass-lines, James Brown style soulful -yet sexy- vocals, a hint of disco, guitar build-ups and breaks. Tidal Waves Music presents the first ever vinyl reissue. Comes on 180 gram vinyl, strictly limited to 500 copies, comes with obi strip and features the original artwork by Ronald Edwards.
