This album unearths a twisted treasure trove of grooves, originally scattered across obscure side-projects and international pressings, brought back to life by Strut on blood-soaked vinyl exclusively for Halloween 2025. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOriginally released as a 1976 Japan-only compilation featuring the Lafayette Afro Rock Band under a plethora of pseudonyms—Sweet Exorcist, Captain Dax, Hot Blood, Krispie and Co., and more, the release was masterminded by producer Pierre Jaubert and led by bandleader Frank Abel with the funk-virtuosity of the Lafayette Afro-Rock Band group, the minds behind the much sampled ‘Soul Makossa’ and ‘Malik’ albums. Disco Frankenstein represents the band at their most creative—layering wah-wah guitars, thunderous Afrobeat rhythms, and creepy-crawly synths into a funky stew of horror-disco gold. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTracks like “Dr. Beezar (Soul Frankenstein),” “Disco Vampire,” “Zeke the Zombie,” and “Igor’s Reggae” blur the line between Halloween novelty and dancefloor fire, conjured with full seriousness by studio wizards who knew how to raise the funk.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Strut","offers":[{"title":"Blood-Stained LP","offer_id":50460724134166,"sku":"RMX-55189","price":25.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0839\/7750\/2998\/files\/5ec649f623ed4fc1398bb80af0334e8e.jpg?v=1757076828","url":"https:\/\/resident-music-uk.myshopify.com\/products\/ice-lafayette-afro-rock-band-disco-frankenstein-2025-reissue","provider":"Resident Music UK","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
