  • Dubious - don't know if this was ever a "big" cut, certainly not rare, but "Don't I Ever Cross Your Mind" by Barbara Mason has been my fucking jam, for a while now


    Padlock is not even remotely rare

    WTF pays $25 for that

    Yo you might be right. I don't recall seeing it much in California, but it's definitely around out here. Finding a clean copy can be tricky, but save the $25 and put it towards a plane ticket. Then you can cop VG play copies of West Ends, Preludes, and Padlocks!

    i found a couple of copies about a year and a half ago, and listed one for like $6.99.........NO BIDS!! And if i remember right, the look count was stupid low as well.

    Definately hot one though.

    well boogie music is concurrent with the Loft and more apty the garage. But people in 1982 didnt calle that Garage music they called that shit Boogie.

    Actually, the term "boogie" is way more relevant to the period and sound and scene I'm talking about (roughly 1975-1979) than the one you are talking about. The word might have still had some life in it in '82, but it was hardly hip or contemporary at that point. Just do a random sampling of songs with the word "boogie" or in the title in the 70s- underground or mainstream- versus in the 80s to see what I mean.


    im not arguing that Roller Boogie / Disco Boogie doesnt exist... but it would be similar to calling certain disco records Hussle Music.

    the GENRE of boogie is post disco 1980 - 83.. pretty much evaporates by 84

    Garage is more coked out dubby and synthy

    More coked-out dub/synthy than the Padlock EP??? Give some examples!

    no that is the arctypical garage record. mixed by the dj from the garage and pressed on garage records... hence that sound and others similar to that came to be known as garage records. but thats a much wider sound than strict boogie. i mean magnificent 7, esg, grace jones, stephanie mills, steve silk hurley are all GARAGE records but they don't sound anything like each other.

    what i meant by say MORE is in referance to the loft... for the most part alot of the tracks overlap. you could say that Jingo is a Loft record but you could also call it a garage record.. neither is wrong.

    something like Timewarp by Eddie Grant is what comes to my mind if somebody was to ask me to play a GARAGE record.. shit is pure high as a kite jammin



    To my sensibility, though, you're using this distinction backwards, because the period in which "boogie" was actually hip slang, a hip way to dance, etc. was barely on the cusp of using synthesized instruments if there were any at all. Think a little bit of Moog or Arp and that's it.

    well there's people who are gonna tell you that jelly roll morton is boogie... that canned heat is BOOGIE.. john lee hooker is BOOGIE.. the word means differant things in differant circles of peeps.

    Boogie as a dance music sub genre is what i described. Roller Disco / Roller Boogie is another sub genre sure thing.


    I'll take your word for it on all this, but my thinking is that annoying sub-genre classifications should at least aid shorthand communication about music a little bit, rather than confuse things. My point is that, as a serious fan of disco and it's sub-genres since 8th grade (15 years ago, believe it or not), I actually found "boogie" to be a relatively useful sub-category when I thought it meant what I'm now finding out it doesn't mean. At the same time, if I'm taking your word for it, the term "boogie" has instantly lost most of it's value and currency for me because I know that I can't "boogie" to Taana Gardner's "Heartbeat" any sooner than I can Boogaloo to it.

    Alright, Getting Hot is OK but you ain't gonna buy it for that are you. Hopscotch stands out, rest is pretty generic sounding IMO.

    So, the one track is 7th Heaven, then?

    ere no sweat man whatever floats you're boat.. im in complete agreement with the needless sub genres.. like i said if i went into most rock stores and asked for some good boogie they'd give me john lee hooker or canned heat.. in the UK you'd probably get Status Quo.

    Is THAT a joke post? It's all Gwen Guthrie, and all remixes, which IMO all fall short of the OG mix except for Padlock

    Midnight Star: I???ve Been Watching You / Open Up To Love 12??? Solar

    fucking love the A-side, never quite knew how to classify it...

  • BigSpliffBigSpliff 3,266 Posts
    Is this one moder boogie? Neo-boogie? Either way, got more heat than Padlock... 2009 ghey digger trend maybe.



    Again, dancing not key due to hi-maintenance hair styles (men and women) just sort of vogueing and stylin

  • TREWTREW 2,037 Posts


    i always thought of "Young and Compnay" i like what you're doing to me as straight disco...

    that's roller boogie

  • How would one classify Yarborough & Peoples "Heartbeats"???

  • GuzzoGuzzo 8,611 Posts


    i always thought of "Young and Compnay" i like what you're doing to me as straight disco...

    that's roller boogie

    can't it fall under both catagories? We need more cross genre marriages

    BTW I tried to like that song, but the only part I dig is the part Black sheep sampled

    yeah homegirl's voice is 'unique'. but i just don't see that one being disco.. not enough strings yahm? but roller-disco-boogie sounds intriguing

  • BigSpliffBigSpliff 3,266 Posts
    roller-disco-boogie sounds intriguing

    I'd say that would be Cheri - Murphy's Law
