Fat Mattress - Fat Mattress 1969 vinyl full album

Noel Redding was the first person to join the Jimi Hendrix Experience, and the first to leave. In 1968, before leaving the Jimi Hendrix Experience Redding formed the group Fat Mattress with another Kent musician Neil Landon (ex-Ivy League). Fat Mattress came to the attention of the music business quickly, because they played support act on an American tour by the Jimi Hendrix Experience in which Redding would double as the Experience's bassist and Fat Mattress' guitarist. This, their first album, issued in 1969, was very influenced by American west coast psychedelic and folk-rock bands, as well as British pop-psychedelic bands like Traffic.
