Fatback Opinions??

About 15 years ago, I got turned onto this history of Funk book by Rickey Vincent. Highly recommended by the way. At the back of it had a list of some of the best funk albums. Early on, I based my music collection on that list. Every year I set out to buy 8 or so CDs and I try to include a few new artists.

One artist I kept putting off buying was Fatback. Every year I'd plan to get a cd but could never decide on a good entry point. I'd listen to samples & like certain songs but never found many strong albums. What are the best Fatback albums? Is it better to just get a greatest hits package? This week I picked up 14 KARAT because I liked the song "Let's Do it Again". That is a great funk tune & there are a few other nice songs but most have really weak lyrics & vocals. Great instrumentals though! What's the opinion of the Fatback Band?
