Or maybe the more well-known jazz/funk drummer Lenny White didn't appreciate the fact that there was anotha cat named Lenny White in this band tryin' to steal his thunder, so he pulled some strings and the album disappeared from stores overnight. That's what's called a funky conspiracy theory.
This LP landed on my turntable after I pulled it outta my stacks b/c they looked super fly posing for the cover shot, and it didn't disappoint. Sounds a lot like Brass Construction. And Mass Production. Produced by Danny Weiss, who as one commentor at discomusic.com helpfully pointed out, "usually worked on stuff that came out on the Vanguard label such as Players Association, The Ring, & Roni Griffith, so he must've been moonlighting on this early Prelude project." Hustle Bus Stop was the single released from this LP. Other nice tracks include Free And Wild, and Disco Party In The Street. Apparently, before this album, they also self-released a single distributed by Brooklyn-based Sun Records called Happy Music w/ Uncle Sam on the flip.
