1970 first Lp dazzling two-guitars hard rock winner!                 

                  FAT 

...USA - RCA - LSP 4368

Original 1970 hard rockin' FAT with double guitar action and GREAT tunes melodies infused, has been a big hit with collectors when having the cool sound throughout both sides that are hunted for. They made two Lp's, but make no mistake, this is the one!

In support of the album RCA sent the band on the road opening for The Allman Brothers Band.  While the debut didn't do much commercially the album generated some favorable critical buzz leading RCA management to ship the band back into the studio to record a sophomore album.  The collection was completed, but before it could be released the band got caught up in a drug bust.  RCA management reacted by dropping the band

First and best of two Lp's...1970 "Fat" is a fantastic and completely overlooked near-classic (a couple of online references say RCA only pressed 400 copies of this first album). This Massachusetts-based quintet seemed to have everything required for major stardom - a great singer in Peter Newland, killer chops including two impressive lead guitarists in Michael Benson and James Kaminski, and a rock steady rhythm section in drummer William Benjamin and bassist Guy DeVito.  That line up coupled with more than their share of first-rate material that was simultaneously tuneful and lyrically interesting made for a great LP.  No wonder they met with zilch in terms of commercial success.  With Benson, Kaminski and Newland sharing writing credits, tracks like 'House On the Corner', 'Mine Eyes Have Seen', the Cream inspired 'Country Girl', and the ballad 'Lonely Lady' were all tailor made for FM radio. All hyperbole aside, these guys had it all with GREAT tunes structured by pumping double guitars including razor leads!
