Fat Mattress - Fat Mattress

RE-PRESS: CD ORIGINALLY RELEASED IN 2009 .

• EXPANDED RELEASE FOR THE DEBUT ALBUM BY NOEL REDDING’s BAND WITH EIGHT BONUS TRACKS

• EXTENSIVE BOOKLET WITH PHOTOS & LINER NOTES

Recorded in 1969, “Fat Mattress” was the eponymous debut album by the band formed by JIMI HENDRIX EXPERIENCE bass guitarist NOEL REDDING. Recorded in late 1968 / early 1969, the album evoked the influences of the time, touching upon styles pioneered by groups such as TRAFFIC (whose member CHRIS WOOD guested on the record).

A superb piece of Psychedelic rock in its own right, “FAT MATTRESS” failed to get the attention it deserved at the time of release (despite a tour as support act to the HENDRIX EXPERIENCE) but has subsequently been hailed as a classic of the era.

This Esoteric reissue has eight bonus tracks comprising non-album singles, mono mixes, studio out-takes and an unreleased solo single by FAT MATTRESS’ Jim Leverton.
