Reissue of 1975 album by The Fantastic Four who were Detroit nightclub legends that never made the big time, members came and went, with lead singer James Epps the only constant. Alvin Stone (The Birth and Death of a Gangster) remains the brightest star of a lackluster career. The cover depicts the front page of a newspaper with a headline announcing the death of Alvin Stone. The title track chronicles and glorifies the life of fictional gangster Alvin Stone, it has good lyrics worthy of a gangsta-rap update, a throbbing beat, and a great vocal from Epps
