Strut presents an exclusive release for Record Store Day, an 11-minute previously unreleased version of folk-soul gem 'Fishman' from 1972 by legendary Caribbean funk band The Beginning Of The End. Unearthed recently from the band's tape archives, 'Fishman' paints a warm picture of life in Nassau. As The Beginning Of The End's bandleader Ray Munnings remembers, "There was this guy that would walk through the streets early morning – you'd hear him calling 'Fishmaaan, Fishmaaan!' He had the catch, fresh from the boats so you could buy grouper, goggle eye and snapper there on your doorstep.
