Info for Shake A Tail Feather

This collection features the lost recordings of Fast Eddie, one of the most exciting live bands of the early '80s Rhythm'n'Soul-fuelled Mod Revival. From Billericay, they followed in the wake of Thames Delta Blues pioneers Dr. Feelgood - originally playing raw, authentic R&B, before expanding their sound to incorporate club soul and a broader palette of influences and sounds.

Significantly, the group was also managed and produced by a certain young Eddie Piller - our founder - in his first foray as a music Mogul. In the Spring of 1982, he took the band to Pye studios near Mable Arch, to cut what would be their first record. Copies were sold via fanzines or direct through London record stores, on his own imprint he called 'West Suspect Records', marking the start of Ed's career as a record man. Consequently, this collection marks an important document in the formation of Well Suspect Records, Countdown Records and the wider Acid Jazz Story.

The album contains of 20 tracks from their recordings. Their storming versions of 'Shake A Tail Feather' and 'Out Of Sight', show their love of classic club soul, while 'Help Me' and 'My Babe' prove that they could play the blues with plenty of rhythm and feeling.
