description
When Barclay launched the Egg label in 1969, sub-division dedicated to soul, funk and psychedelic music, it would make a monumental impression with its first release, the fantastic album Original Popcorn, which, over the years, has come to be recognised as a moment of rare groove Made in France.
Steering this musical UFO we find the mad musicians from the group Cruciferius (Pre-Magma line up) along with the fabulous Franco-Moroccan rhythm'n'blues singer Vignon, a unique personality, brimming over with energy and with the voice of a soulman, capable of making the Americans, though undisputed leaders in the style, green with envy.

On the A side of this brave 7" we find Popcorn Popcorn a great moment in repetitive and hypnotic funk, similar to the trance to be found on the album, while on the B side lies a unique track, no doubt from the same high voltage recording sessions.

The super groovy Frozen Steak Popcorn retains momentum, taking on the allure of psychedelic blues on speed, stuffed with reverberating guitars, intrepid bass, and an army of percussion come to swell the already mammoth drum beat.

In short, full marks for this fantastic little record which has become an essential addition to its cult album of origin.
