SPLIT DECISION BAND 'Split Decision' LP

Highly recommended by PCR!

They have been known to deep soul, funk and disco collectors for decades for their sought after 7” “Watching Out/Dazed,” long thought to be the band’s only recordings. Egon tracked down Split Decision Band’s vocalist and songwriter Gordon Starr Flipping in the hopes of more and got it – with Watching Out, Now-Again presents a never-before-released album of devastatingly good disco and boogie from the unlikely city of Des Moines, Iowa. Flipping’s collaborations with Prince made him a Midwestern legend, but his band’s music is more than an urban tall tale – this album finally proves to the world their merits.

Original 45 RPM single sessions produced by Lawrence Carol and Leonard Shaw; original unreleased sessions produced by Split Decision Band. Produced for reissue by Eothen Alapatt.

“Watching Out” b/w “Dazed” 45 RPM single recorded at Triad Studios, Des Moines, IA, circa 1979, by Tommy Tucker. Unreleased sessions recorded at unknown studio or Gordon Flipping’s house, Des Moines, IA, between 1979-1984, by Split Decision Band.
