Upp is the debut album by British rock/jazz fusion band Upp, released in 1975. The album was recorded at Escape Studios, Kent. The opening track, "Bad Stuff," showcases charismatic guitar playing by Jeff Beck. There is a strong influence of funk music felt in the tracks "Get Down in the Dirt," "Friendly Street," and "Give It to You." Jeff Beck produced and played guitars[1] on this album with no mention of him in the album's liner notes, which met with some controversy. "Give It to You" contains a heavily sampled breakbeat, which is featured in the Ultimate Breaks and Beats series. "Jeff's One" was composed by Jeff Beck and Andy Clark.
