Description
• Robinsongs are pleased to announce for the first time all three Faze-O albums available on one package. The albums are “Riding High”, “Good Thang” & “Breakin’ The Funk”.

• This definitive collection contains all of Faze-O’s recorded content.

Faze-O hailed from Dayton, Ohio. Although not as well-known as some of their Dayton funk brothers, Faze-O’s brightest moment came in 1978 when they scored a Top 5 US R&B hit in the shape of a hypnotic groove-ballad called “Riding High”.

The band honed their skills playing gigs in and around their hometown, initially under a different name, which is how they appeared on the radar of Clarence “Satch” Satchell, a horn player with the mighty Ohio Players. “Satch liked what he saw and asked us if we were signed to anyone. He then told us all to be at his house the next morning and we signed with him there and then.”

Snoop Dogg and Ice Cube are a few big names that have sampled key elements from “Riding High” to make new music thereby putting Faze-O on the radar of a younger generation of listeners.

Other key singles by Faze-O included in this package are “Breakin’ The Funk”, “Good Thang” & “Who Loves You” where we have also included the 7” versions as bonus tracks.

This package contains fantastic sleeve notes by journalist Charles Waring contributor to MOJO, Record Collector and soulandjazzandfunk.com.

So you are about to enter the land of Faze-O. You are about to funk like you’ve never funked before.
