The funk / disco dancer A-side ‘Outlaw’ was originally released as a private press 45. Since the early 80’s a few copies were in circulation, and since, this obscure single has become high on the wantslist. The B-side ‘Buffalo Funk’, is previously unreleased break-beat loaded instrumental from the same session taken from the master tapes. Killer!
