Nestled between the classic album releases "Dixie Chicken" and "Feats Don’t Fail Me Now" and performed for a small and intimate assembled studio audience, this recording, "Electrif Lycanthrope", finds Little Feat in their prime, live from Ultrasonic Studios in Hempstead, NY, on September 9th, 1974.

Often discussed as their best line up, this recording features the 1974 version of Little Feat containing Lowell George, Paul Barrere, Kenny Gradney, Richie Hayward, Sam Clayton and Bill Payne.

With excerpts of this performance only available previously as a legendary 1970's bootleg, this Record Store Day, Black Friday, release is the first time the full length performance is available, directly from the original pre-FM broadcast master tapes, and serves as an excellent introduction to one of rock'n'roll’s best, yet criminally unsung, outfits.

The recording captures the band cranking out songs from what are arguably 2 of their 3 best studio albums, at the pinnacle of their chemistry.
