LINK QUARTET - ITALIAN PLAYBOYS
A new release of fantastically smokin' Hammond-led chargers by the LINK QUARTET! But one trick ponies these Italian hip-cats ain't. "Italian Playboys" includes nine original songs, from the classic 60s beat styled title track to the introspective "After and Once Again", along with a selection of rarely attempted covers including the heavy funk of Jon Lord on "Rubber Monkey", an uplifting interpretation of Jack McDuff's "Briar Patch" and a scorching slice out of the library classic "Move, Move, Move".
The album also features Doug Roberson of mod fave The Diplomats of Solid Sound (USA) on guitar for "Portofino Vespa Rider", Eddie Roberts of deep funk superstars The New Mastersounds (UK) on sitar for "Spider Baby", and DJ extraordinaire NINFA (Irma Records Mo'Plen series) lending her vocal talents to the Gus Gus hit "Ladyshave".
"Wow, another monster album by Italys fave Hammond-driven groovers, the Link Quartet! From the opening cover of Move, Move, Move and the title track Italian Playboys it’s a deep flashback to the best soundtrack funky beat you’ve first loved in the late 60s and 70s obscure flicks, radio spots and commercials!" - Misty Lane Magazine
"This album has a lot more depth (and range) of sound than previous releases and is far funkier. The title track Italian Playboys sounds like it should do – Saturday night in a steaming cellar bar, Hammond screaming away, backed up by a damn funky rhythm section. Spider Baby is another great tune – think Indian Vibes meets club jazz meets Air – you‚ll not be far off! And the album closer, Take Four, is also a cracker, like something from the Dirty Harry soundtrack – a slice of jazzy funk with a hint of menace!" - Mod Culture Mag
