    • 1. Madness
    • 2. If Your In Love

    Christopher Spraggins & The Strange Band released a total of one record. A spaced out druggy disco band that had a hint of Rick James with a deep trippy vibe that was truly unique. Reproduced here and available for the first time since1978. Don't sleep on this one!
