New Copy

Genre: Wave / Pop / Rock

1. I Got Fever
2. Isabella

Well known for the evergreen R&B club classic 'It's Your Voodoo Working', here's a less well known number from the Lake Charles, Louisiana born Charles 'Mad Dog' Sheffield that's every bit as ripe for the dancefloor.

A tasty mid-tempo mover with a shuffling bayou rumba, the reason this is not so well known could just be that it originally went unissued by the Goldband label Sheffield recorded it for, first appearing in rather low-fidelity form on an 80s comp. Now restored to its original audio beauty from the original masters and pressed here using the late 50s Goldband label artwork with permission, 'I Got Fever' has finally landed the 45rpm release it deserves and hopefully the dancefloor exposure will follow quickly! On the flip side, you get Sheffield's twanging swamp blues cut 'Isabella', another unissued gem from the Goldband studio!
