This funky, funky number is the debut album from New York funk pioneers The Fatback Band, brainchild of drummer Bill Curtis and innovators of the kinds of grooves that threw jazz, soul, and a New Orleans “fatback” beat into a pot and stirred it masterfully. You can almost hear the whispers of disco on the wind on this 1972 essential, and with the exception of two jazzy lil’ ballads, the whole thing is as effortlessly groovy as you could hope a record to be. - Flying Out

Formed by drummer Bill Curtis in 1970 the Fatback Band signed to Perception Records who issued this debut album in America in 1972.

Recorded at Blue Rock Studio in New York, Let’s Do It Again featuring the soon to be patented Fatback sound, the album included originals like ‘Street Dance’ – that became a Billboard R&B hit in 1973 – ‘Free Form’, ‘Take A Ride (On The Soul Train)’ , ‘Give Me One More Chance’, ‘Goin’ To See My Baby’ and the title track. There were also cover versions of Jimmy Webb’s ‘Wichita Lineman’, David Gates Baby I’m A Want You’ and the evergreen ‘Green Green Grass Of Home’.

Let’s Do It Again has been out of print for many years and Ace are delighted to be reissuing it on vinyl - with the full cooperation of Fatback founder Bill Curtis.
