1980年代初頭のコンピューターブーム、Zapp & Roger「Computer Love」などからインスパイアされた知られざるロマンチック・キュートな、コンピューターが人間の女性に恋をしたエレクトロ・ファンク秘宝！Leo「Fee Fi Fo Fum」がAthens Of The Northより7インチ・アナログ復刻。450枚限定盤。
This was Don Thigpen's first recording as an artist, but he was no stranger to the studio. In fact he was the individual behind many heavy tunes that came out of the Jackson area. He and good friend Sam Anderson also cut a record on his CJR labelb (Capitol Jackson Records) called "Shirley Baby", also a highly coveted record if you got a copy to sell or record let us know).
The name "LEO" became Dons performing pseudonym. Leo was also his zodiac sign, which he deemed edgy enough to marquee this electro heavy track "Fee Fi Fo Fum". The inspiration for the song came from the computer craze of the 80s. Much like Zapp & Roger's track "Computer Love" an inanimate object is worshipped and then romanticized by a love affair. The song literally depicts a computer falling in love with a woman and attempts to communicate with her by seductively flashing the words "Fee Fi Fo Fum" on the screen.
