Tantra "hills of killimanjaro" is pretty dope...i have it on a uniwave 12" as a remix which is very nice. the track "mother africa" was a big levan/garage track.
Tantra's "Wishbone" is crazy hott too!.... Super minimal, and has a ridiculous bass line.
Also, Kongas "Dr Doo-Wah" is a joint. / Don Ray "My Desire" ,off the Garden Of Love classic, is a really nice sleez jam. And of course "Standing In The Rain" and "Body & Soul"...
Yeah it's a bloody good track, I've been hammering it here in Oslo for quite some time. The kind of track you put on when coming home from office friday afternoon
I know that's from the Cooley High Soundtrack, but who the hell is Dewane Dixon? Is that the person credited with making the song, or the person that did the edit?
Because if that is Walter Gibbon's personal edit...

Dewane is the mixer of the edit, but it doesn't have other tracks spliced into it like many other Sunshine Sound acetates, so it's presumably close to Walter's approach when he blended it live.

Nice.
BTW Walter Gibbons eventually cut an edit to save himself some work. So it is out there. I heard a rumor that the Ballroom edit was a bootleg of it, but I don't think that it is true. I gotta check my sources on that one...
Nobody's yet mentioned the Henri-Pierre Noel private-press Haitian disco LP. How can this be? The big track is a seriously heavy piano-driven deep disco with a killer breakdown. Hot tune, for sure.
Does anybody have extras of this one? Oh wait, I do. Check out my trades list in the trades forum.
Vet du om det finnes noen radioshow i Oslo for soul/funk/disco/breaks/raregroove etc etc?
Han derre reggae fyren som spiller p?? radio tellus (99.3) p?? mandager, sa jeg burde skaffe meg et show der..men det er jo litt kjipt ?? ha show alene da..
Scored this today for $7 sealed!
I took this image from an e-bay auction where it nearly sold for $400.
nice catch....$400 is ridiculous...fuck outta here people are dickriding the same records...thats the problem with the pricing. i copped a joint recently.. for about $30 ,that i know somebody paid $ 400 for off ebay... its all about what is "known"
WORD, its all about the "known" records. I hate when stuff like that turns popular.. all that P&P stuff on eBay. eBayers killing each other for records. WTF? I like finding undiscovered records..its all cheap! And you guys are lucky living in the states so you can cop killer records like this so cheap. I live in fucking Norway! No records at all! I have to waste money on eBay or buy re-issues to get those tunes....fook!

well its tough when everyone is looking for records from the exact same time period - 77 - 83 on the same small labels.
i've found more dope records this year from 84-89 for a buck a pop than i would have even considered possible 3 years ago.
no records in norway?? dude norway OWNS the world in terms of deep cosmic spacey disco goodness at the moment. If you follow any recent developements in nu disco / house / balearic / cosmic you should be pretty happy to call norway home.
i believe gibbons would blend the cooley joint with "erucu" and the rare earth "happy song" right? i have a Rated X boot of "happy song" and the lp cut of it.
my fave version of "erucu" is on this Motown Instrumentals lp that has a sick cover...a modular moog floating in space.

I beg to differ.

i can't take dusty grooves all day.. gimme some pounding linn drum, latin rascals edits, dudes in parachute pants playing hexagagonal syntoms, brittish guys named rodney rapping etc etc.
that's the glory days of 12"s right there man. and frankly i find the music infinitly more unpredictable from this period.. youve got you post electro, proto house, psuedo hi nrg, post new wave white funk... and every 12" has got about 15 mixes on them.
shit is also infinitly more BANGING on a big system.
that c henry woods troupe "stranger" track is pretty ill...i have this early 2000s edit of it on this british house label called Recreation or something. found it at a thrift store. there's this other dope disco tune called "the Stranger" too...i have it on a uniwave 12" but there's a ballroom edit of it.
how is that 12" mix of Touch of Class "I'm in Heaven"? i love that tune...only have it on lp. i also have a version of it by this jazz player whose name escapes me now...

Easy Poprock, the 'Shining Star' track in uniwave is also great, the Touch of Class 12" is a favourite, there's a US and UK 12", but not sure how they differ (if at all) from the LP version as I've not heard it...
and yes again...and another (VERY) boring, no to hell with it, tell it like it is - very, very bad Disco twelve is Ahzz 'New York's Movin' on Land Of Hits - boy - Patrick & Peter weren't on their A&R game that day...should never have been pressed - excrutiatingly out of tune and a complete mess...makes $$100s regular tho - why??
i was just looking thru some shit and i pulled some more favs.

also the Touch lp cut of "love hangover" is dope.
nice score on the dunn pearson...that track is easier to catch on the red greg disco picks 12".

This is a GREAT track, and only common to disco collectors/fans. Whenever I've played this out and the breakdown goes in, and the chant comes in:
"Aint nobody love you like I do, aint nobody do the things I do the way I do..."
That shit will get anyone to pay attention and start dancing.
By the way, for the second time, this thread is
Anyways I'm loving this at the moment Bill - Space lady (larry mcgee)

Had a 25 count of those at one point.
