Here's the complete album discography of the legenadary funk group Fatback (only original
albums - no compilations). The name of the group was originally Fatback Band, but was shortened to plain Fatback from their 1977 album Man with the Band on. Read the Fatback `album by album' story from Soul Express back issues numbers 4/94 and 5/94, both issues still available
from our Soul Express online shop.
P.S. Notice that all three early Fatback Band albums on Perception label have now been reissued in the U.K. by Deepbeats Records. Of these three albums, only Feel My Soul was reviewed in our Fatback story, but you'll find the fresh reviews of the other two from the issue 2/97
