It was circa 1971 that the three members of Thin Lizzy, desperate for funds,
did some recordings with members of ELMER FUDD (later to shorten their name to FUDD).
They were given one day to rehearse and another to do the actual recordings, released
under the band name FUNKY JUNCTION.

Funky Junction was: Philip Lynott - bass, Brian Downey - drums, Eric Bell - guitar,
Benny White - vocals and Dave Lennox - keyboards. Primarily they did one album,
"FUNKY JUNCTION plays a tribute to DEEP PURPLE, although tracks from the session
did appear on two or three other albums, such as "IF SIX WAS NINE"
(predominantly a Thin Lizzy album).

Oddly enough, on the "Tribute to DEEP PURPLE" album only five of the nine tracks are Deep Purple songs,
(with the four others being credited to "Leo Muller", the German producer of the album.)
