Well Mandrill are a funny one - certainly a mixed bag, but when they
get into a good groove they are heavy! The track 'Fencewalk' springs
to mind...
If you're after the original vinyl of the first EWF album, it is
around at the moment - on Warner + there was a UK reissue on Pickwick
which I guess was probably put out in response to their late
seventies popularity in the UK with the white socked soulboy massive.
The Pickwick issue has a really ugly cover unfortunatley.

Just discovered Osmium and it might be one of Parliament's best
albums by far (and God knows they're usually ace) ; found a couple
of Rotary Connection tracks and this definitely goes straight to the
shopping basket. I have a record by Mandrill, wasn't too
enthusiastic about it but I need to listen to it again. EW&F - it's
hard to find their earlier (good) stuff, usually it's just crappy
collections.
