Robert Cotter's long lost New York funk masterpiece featuring the
pre-Chic 'Big Apple Band', including Nile Rodgers and Bernard
Edwards, reissued for the first time since 1976.
Wewantsounds is delighted to announce the reissue of Robert Cotter's ultra-rare 1976
album, 'Missing You' in partnership with Robert Cotter himself. Originally released on the
notorious Tiger Lily label, the album was never properly released at the time and most copies
were destroyed before they could hit record store shelves. The few that survived now
command unreasonable prices. The album, recorded in New York between 1975 and 76, is
also Chic's earliest recording - or The Big Apple Band as the group was known, which Robert
Cotter was fronting at the time alongside fellow musicians Nile Rodgers, Bernard Edwards,
Tony Thompson and Robert Sabino.
The album's audio has been remastered and the reissue comes with its original artwork
plus a 2 page insert featuring liner notes by Love Injection's Barbie Bertisch and Paul
Raffaele telling the whole story.
