Curtis Knight - “U.F.O.” (Golden Sphinx cat. GSX 003) Curtis Knight has made some amazing and diverse music throughout his career. 1966’s “Hornet’s Nest” with the Squires (featuring Jimi Hendrix) is one of the best instrumentals I have ever heard…and sadly do not own. Down In The Village released in 1970 combines Hard Rock and Funk and is a personal favorite. He formed Zeus with “Fast” Eddie Clarke before he joined Lemmy in Motorhead. In 1965 while on tour with Hendrix and The Squires in Woodstock, NY, Knight clams to have been saved while stranded in a snowstorm, when a UFO suddenly landed in front of them. An alien appeared, melting the snow, and warmed the car enough to free it, and kept them from freezing to death. Hendrix makes mention of UFOs in his songs but nothing compared to mind-blowing tale of alien abduction, and dancing found here… “I KNOW SOMETHING YOU DON’T KNOW, CAUSE I TOOK A RIDE IN A UFO.” Obviously Curtis is going to tell us a story... "LOOKED INSIDE NOW I KNOW THAT A UFO IS A HIGH FLYING DISCO! THEY'RE DOING ALL THE DANCES, IN THE UFO, YOU SHOULD SEE... GET DOWN!” This is just crazy enough to be amazing and the simple groove throbs along making it a nice head bobber. #primitivesoundsystem #vinylrules #vinyljunkie #vinyl45s #RareRecords #recordcollection #recordcollector #CurtisKnight #CurtisKnightAndTheSquires #JimiHendrix #FastEddieClarke #Lemmy #UFO #Disco #HardRock #Funk #Groove https://www.instagram.com/p/B-xCNoXJ0e7/?igshid=1q1exomfqqz8d
