When LITTLE FEAT launched their reissue programme back in 2023, it was only logical that the first longplays to get a deluxe treatment would be the classic “Sailin’ Shoes” – a little late for its 50th anniversary but always welcome – and “Dixie Chicken” which set things on a proper half-century track. These were followed by the remastered editions of "Feats Don't Fail Me Now" and "The Last Record Album" – with the band’s 1971 debut left behind. Now, however, with a 1976 slot vacant in the veterans’ discography, the time has come to fill the gap – and it will be filled on April 17th.
As with the previous platters, there’s no redundant remixes of the original longplay, that’s been merely remastered, but this time there are no concert recordings either, with a second disc of CD and vinyl sets dedicated to alternative versions – all appearing here for the first time – of the “Little Feat” numbers and a few outtakes. Completists must be delighted.
