We're thankful the Jive Turkeys' Bread & Butter LP is being reissued

Colemine is reissuing the instrumental funk cooker by The Jive Turkeys on turkey gravy brown vinyl December 9th. Nice!

Here's the scoop...

Bread & Butter, the first full length LP on Colemine Records and the debut of Ohio's Jive Turkeys –featuring Andrew DeRoberts, Matt Amburgy, Rob Houk and Colemine founder Terry Cole – is nothing but funky, soulful instrumental goodness from start to finish. Bread & Butter clearly established The Jive Turkeys as the initial benchmark for the old-school funk revival in the Midwest. Fans of The Meters, Booker T. & The M.G. s, and the funk revival sound will surely dig what The Jive Turkeys are puttin' down!

The turkey gravy brown vinyl edition is limited to 1800 copies worldwide! Pre-order a copy right here. Have a listen to the album followed by an interview with Colemine's Terry Cole on the 40 Minutes Of Funk podcast below.
