BACON FAT Tough Dude (Very rare 1971 UK 12-track vinyl LP, picture sleeve. Legend has it that Blue Horizon label owner Mike Vernon spotted Bacon Fat playing in a tiny US club and was so impressed he promptly signed them. It's premier level blues-rock full of superb harmonica and guitar duels from a band that featured legendary harmonica player George Smith (who'd played with Otis Rush, Muddy Waters), Rod Piazza (Dirty Blues Band) and pianist J.D. Nicholson. The sleeve on this copyis graded VG with ringwear and edge scuffing but it remains free of any rips or tears with all text clearly visible, the vinyl is a wonderul Near Mint - this the first copy we've ever had in over thirty years trading, rare ain't the word!
