The Frat (aka The Frat Band, Autofrat) was a short lived electro funk outfit under the leadership of songwriter and producer Jeffrey Singleton. Jeffrey is best known as producer/writer on the excellent O.T. Sykes - First Love LP from 1981. Little is known about his own group apart from the band containing members Joe White, Ted White, Brigette Travis, Hugh Gray, Carlett Martin, Robert Singleton and Joey White. Only a few hands full of original copies of this excellent 7” single are known to have survived which makes this re-issue a true and most welcome feast for funk, boogie and electro fans. The music is licensed directly from original owner Jeffrey Singleton and is deliciously remastered from the best possible sources available.

Love this! Heard Floating Points play it on GP’s 6music show at the start of this year. Just glorious & now one of my favourite tracks ever, I love how her voice breaks. Thank you AOTN ! TRJON

Another compelling 7" from E. Live on Star Creature.
"Do me like That" is a nice and soulful disco track with a somewhat playful vocal.
"Floatational Device" is one slamming instrumental jazz/disco workout with E. Live's "going for broke" solos.
