Nice ! I never knew that was on a 12" !
Quite a lot of his records were released in the UK, the biggest was 'Bus Stop' (not the same song as The Fatback Band) He was married to someone and I can't think who now.

Luckily in the 70's i was on Contempo's mailing list so i ended up with most of the Oliver Sain releases. Those that never came out over here i bought on U.S. Abet. The singer Oliver married was Fontella Bass (of Rescue Me fame).

And The B-Side of B.oO.G.i.e is Feel Like Dancin, which is a damn good disco track IMHO but "Bus Stop" and "Double Bump" are still my favourites.

Oliver Sain was also the manager of Fontella Bass before he married her...

Bus Stop was a FANTASTIC piece of early Jazz Funk (before the term was in existence!). He could sound a mite samey, but his grooves were BAAAD.

Are there any CDs of his with Bus Stop that come from original master tapes? I have the CD of the album 'Bus Stop' VCS 007 and the sound quality is really poor (lifted from vinyl with too much noise reduction). Please send me a private message if you know of any as I can't gain access to this forum on an ordinary basis due to technical problems.

Yeah, FEEL LIKE DANCIN is a great song.
Ill have to look for this Bus Stop record now, too.
