The unreleased first album - Lucky Strike

[MrHip]

Is there any information available on this - dates, track lists etc?

The story I've heard - this is not an unreleased Feat album as sometimes reported but "Chico The Master" a long-out-of-print instrumental LP by jazz drummer Chico Hamilton. It featured everyone except Richie (Lowell George, Paul Barrere, Kenny Gradney, Sam Clayton, Bill Payne) as session players and included 2 tunes co-written by LF. The LP was on the Enterprise label, a division of Stax Records.
The song titles were:
Side 1
1) One Day Five Months Ago (C. Hamilton, F. Hamilton, B. Payne, S. Clayton, L. George, G. Gradney, P. Barrere)
2. Feels Good (C. Hamilton, F. Hamilton, K. Gradney, B. Payne, S. Clayton, L. George, G. Gradney, P. Barrere)
3. Fancy
Side 2
1) Stu
2) Gengis
3) Conquistadores '74
4) Stacy
5) I Can Hear The Grass Grow

The credits on the back of the LP list "George Lowell-Slide Guitar"!

Thanks for this - the track listing you give agrees with what I have seen at Dylantree, where this is being vined.

I got the CD with 2 different covers:
the original LP cover
and this one

BTW
the correct title of the record is
"The Master" - not "Chico The Master"

I have passed this information on to the Dylantree vine members and it is going to be removed as an active vine. Thanks to everyone who posted on this one.
