Single UK 2004 on Licorice Soul Records label
Jazz and R&B/Soul
Limited edition of 700 individually numbered copies. Text from sticker on generic sleeve: "The fifth Licorice Soul release, features two psychedelic Hammond funk gems drawn from the vaults of proudly independent UK library label Studio G. Originally presented on a promotional EP during the late 1960's, both tracks were subsequently issued as the highlights of the classic Beat Group album. Featuring arranger and organist Mike Lease (Freedom), we present as groovy a pair of funky freakbeat movers as ever were committed to tape by British library musicians. 'Hi, Bird' and 'Movin', both of which originally appeared on a promotional EP in 1967, circulated only in tiny quantities to British film and television production companies. As Studio G's production strategy moved tentatively onto the album format in 1970, these tracks were recycled and appeared with others from separate sessions with different bands on the infamous and highly collectable 'Beat Group' promotional album, Studio G release LPSG1001."
