    Spiritual jazz from the unlikely city of Houston, Texas, reissued for the very first time!

    'Fancy Pants' second album by The Lightmen Plus One and, like the deep-set, maverick jazz issued by the likes of Tribe and Strata East, is amongst one of the best of the 1970s jazz underground, a collective voice of resistance to the musical and cultural status quo.

    Presented in both stereo and mono mixes. Extensive booklet, download card for digital files and footage of live performances included.
