Description:

The only album by Batty Mamzell, a seven-piece group that entered the British Afro Rock scene from Trinidad in the early 70's, is now available on CD in paper jacket! (Original release: 1974/Cube Records)This is the only album by the seven-piece group that entered the British Afro Rock scene from Trinidad in the early 1970s. The funky ensemble with a full Caribbean flavor, which develops around steel drums and percussion, is distinctively different from other Afro-rock groups such as Ossibiza. The lead vocalist is Jimmy Chambers, formerly of Dada (formerly Vinegar Joe's). After this, leader/drummer Richard Bailey worked with Gonzalez and Linda Lewis before coming into the limelight with his participation in Jeff Beck's "Blow by Blow" (he worked with The Breakfast Band in the 80's). The producer is Richard's brother, Robert Bailey, formerly of Oshivisa.
