Stubbs, Errol
Turning It Out
Armed with little more than his Peavy T-60 guitar and a Jumbo fuzz pedal, Errol Stubbs and his bar-band cohorts recorded a self-released tape of funked-up disco soul in 1986. With no label or distribution to speak of, Errol would simply put on his best suit and sell the cassettes by hand. The tape languished into obscurity - until now. Over the course of two days, his well-rehearsed band recorded 'Turning It Out' mostly live to tape. Taking notes from guitar god Ernie Isley and funk legend Rick James, the resulting recordings are drenched in cosmic phaser-fuzz guitar work, slapping bass lines, and sexual disco innuendos. The seven-song cassette was sold in local record stores and from night club stages. Now Tidal Waves Music presents the first ever vinyl release of these unearthed and overlooked recordings, professionally restored for fans and collectors of rare funk/soul to discover and enjoy. This album comes as a 180 gram vinyl edition, limited to 500 copies, complete with all new artwork and obi strip.
