The Chinese Fighters





The Chinese Fighters : Kung Fu Fighting
Carrere : 67519 (France, 1970's)



NOTE: THIS ALBUM IS NO LONGER AVAILABLE AS A DOWNLOAD

I've wanted to share this LP for a long time.

About a year ago I scored a copy on a flea market but it was in such terrible shape that I could only use a few tracks that had no pops or skips. A shame - since there are some great sounds on this LP. Greasy Belgian funk at its best. A glance at the composer's names reveals this is yet another product of El Chicles under a different name. In fact, compare this album to the Wah Wah reissued La La La and you'll discover half of the tracks are the same but with a different title.

Anyway, last week I found another copy and since it was in excellent shape I wasted no time to rip it.

Once you get past Douglas' hit Kung Fu Fighting they slowly get their machine into gear and by the time you've reached the end of side one there's no stopping.

As an avid Kung Fu enthusiast I consider this a fine specimen of that age when Bruce Lee ruled.
Those were the days.
