Fat - Fat (1970)


Fat - Fat (1970)

Extremely accomplished debut from this Massachusetts band,
originally released in the US on RCA (LSP4368).
Following the eponymous album’s success, the band toured
extensively as the opening act for the Allman Brothers. Fat's mix
of east coast blues and west coast psychedelia, strongly
influenced by Quicksilver Messenger Service et al, could have
propelled the band into the big time, but an unfortunate drug bust
led RCA to cancel a planned follow-up album, and try as they
might, the group were unable to secure another recording contract,
although two further albums were released in the late ‘70s, both
of which were produced by ex-Mountain man, Felix Papallardi. Over
the years Fat toured with a host of rock luminaries, sharing the
stage with, amongst others, Grand Funk Railroad, Little Richard,
Bonnie And Delaney, Johnny Winter and Robin Tr o w e r, but
unfortunately their success as a live band didn’t translate into
commercial success. This self-titled album is probably the finest
of their recordings, and gives us a taste of just what might have
been had the band stayed straight.
