It's back! We've had a lot of enquiries as to when we'll repress this one, from way back in April '21 - here it is, this time on Oh! Orange vinyl! Italy based, The Link Quartet have produced a unique mix of Funk, Beat, Rock and Soul since 1993, strongly tied to the glorious bands of the past, but fully looking forward towards the future for a modern unmistakable touch. The band have consistently worked hard in the studio, and have released ten studio albums, several singles and EP's, and appeared on some heavy weight compilations throughout the last two decades, working with labels such as Acid Jazz, Record Kicks, Hammond Beat, Sony, Soundflat and many more. In November 2018 the band decided on the idea to release a live album recorded in the studio, during a three-day event. The album was released in 2019 on Spinout Nuggets. The band followed up with the 'The Saint-Tropez Heist' 7 single in 2021, which this is the repress for, by demand, to tie in with the release of their new twin-spin 7 record, titled 'Green Puma / Tropical Dandy'. This release brings The Link Quartet back to its sixties roots, this time with a more modern and cinematic perspective. Imagine one of André Héléna stories, set in Côte d'Azur, with a spectacular robbery, car chases and bullets flying all over your head: that's the A-side The Saint-Tropez Heist, a wild up-tempo movement, with a screaming Hammond organ, fuzz guitar and a heavy bass line, also featuring, as guest, the incredible bongo sound of mister Big Boss Man Nasser Bouzida. After the action you can follow the gang into a smoky night club where they chill out sharing the loot, drinking and watching the girls dancing: that's Nizza Connection, a dark and evocative down-tempo groove where the hypnotic drums' groove sets the base for the organ theme, joined by the Moog synthesizer and the Mellotron to create the right mood for a perfectly fitted B-side. Limited to 300 copies on Oh! Orange vinyl.
