Yes.
The classic one, (i.e. the album with Cissy Strut on it) is self-titled.
My personal favourite is "Rejuvination", it's a few albums into their career and has vocals, which some people dont dig, but personally I think it's the tightest rhythm section playing you're ever likely to hear. The drumming is solid and funky and the bass is right in the pocket... and every track is a killer.
The bst thing about it is that none of the bass playing (actually none of the playing at all) is flash, there are no 'chops' as such.. it's very, very tight and very groovy.
The bass is rarely gets beyond crochets and quavers, but the grooves are simply beautiful.
Just Kissed My Baby is my favourite track from the album. You can get a copy for pretty much sod all, a fiver or so online. Let me know what you think if you manage to pick it up?
