Description
Almost 10 years ago, Light In The Attic and DJ Supreme La Rock compiled the first ever set of vintage Pacific Northwest soul onWheedle�s Groove: Seattle�s Finest In Funk & Soul 1965-75 (LITA009).It featured such rare sides as �I Just Want To Be (Like Myself)� by legendary funk outfit Robbie Hill�s Family Affair. Nearly a decade on, more unheard Seattle soul gems continue surfacing. Now, Light In The Attic is honored to release Gotta Get Back: The Unreleased L.A. Sessions from Robbie Hill�s Family Affair.
Originally recorded at RCA Studios in Los Angeles in January 1975 with Executive Producer Cuba Gooding Sr. and The Main Ingredient (the Family Affair were the Ingredient�s backing band at the time), these five tracks remained lost until the recent discovery of the original multi-track masters. The tapes were carefully mixed by renowned engineer and producer Steve Fisk. To say it�s a miracle that these tapes surfaced would be a massive understatement.
Robbie named his band �Family Affair� for a reason � his band is his family and what you hear is proof that the blood really is thicker than the mud. What you�re now holding in your hands is a pinnacle recording from a band that continues on to the present day, surviving in Seattle�s Central District, carrying on a decades� long tradition.
