Some records are rare.
And some are legend.

Beaver Fever by Willie “Beaver” Hale belongs to that rare class of releases that, over the years, have become far more than mere collector’s items: a highly sought-after title, a quietly growing cult favorite, and for many, a true soul grail.

Originally released in 1980, this album captures the warm, deep, and unmistakably elegant character of Miami soul/funk at its finest: lush keys, smooth guitars, rich basslines, and grooves that unfold with an almost effortless sense of flow.

Within the world of T.K., Miami soul, and modern rare groove, Beaver Fever has long held a special status. That is what makes this release so significant: for the first time ever, the album is finally available again as a reissue.

Seven tracks showcase the full range of this sound — from gentle steppers and silky boogie moments to cuts with real dancefloor authority. “Groove-On” in particular stands as the perfect example of the myth surrounding this LP: a track with presence, depth, and that elusive quality that separates great rare-groove records from merely good ones.

As a special extra, this edition also includes “I Feel Like Crying (Instrumental)” — a bonus for DJs and for anyone who appreciates the functional side of this music as much as its soul.

A long-sought-after title.
A piece of Miami soul history.
Finally back.

Remastered for maximum sound quality.
Strictly limited to 300 copies.
