there's boots of the Mary Clark that cost $5 thanks to peter brown...that track kills Escorts in my opinion but like syl johnson says "different strokes"
of course not much listed in here is straight-up disco...more disco-era soul/funk or disco reggae.
seriously..what is "straight up disco" ? anything with 4 on the floor? kc and the sunshine band, gloria gaynor, patti jo, van mcoy,teddy p, diana ross, gq disco nights???
i mean...i dont believe there is such a thing as "straight up disco". musically,all roads seem to have led to disco...and the term disco, stems from "discoteque" . The word disco has such a stigma...to me its just straight up dance music..whether its soul, funk, gospel,etc...backed by a dance beat, made for the disco.
panache, the instrumental..is rockin", a timeless groove that always makes me want to dance..
there just still seems to be a phobia of disco around these parts...even the title of the thread had to say soul/funk after mentioning disco!
but disco is really just soul and funk that came out in the latter part of the 70s...it's all the same to me.
peter brown/patrick adams disco is quite different than moroder/cerrone disco.
so there's a 45 of joubert on next plateau? that's crazy. so then you must have close to the same mixes i have on 12"...maybe shorter versions. i was thinking you had the original release on a small brooklyn label...i think it was an lp cut. does it mention tony humphries on the 45?
some t.k. disco favorites that aren't very disco:
king sporty "get on down"
madd dogg fire department "cosmic funk" (produced by tommy stewart)
i don't really listen to disco that much but this has to be hands down the dopest disco record i've ever heard
i believe some of newban went on to become atlantic star. both of the newban lps are hot i think.
but the raw disco shit on that label is nashville depot. too bad its pressed like shit.. no mention of production credit, or musicians ever on guinness label, whos got info ?
i've got the boot; sounds freakin' fantastic... now to kick the dead horse of a debate of 'what-is-isn't-boogie/disco' again, wouldnt this be more on the boogie end of the disco spectrum? figuring in - under 120 BPM, no strings, just a bit more funky, y'know?
now to kick the dead horse of a debate of 'what-is-isn't-boogie/disco' again, wouldnt this be more on the boogie end of the disco spectrum?
i've never been clear on the exact definition of 'boogie,' but i posted here because the 'boogie records you're feeling' thread seems to have gone dead. but the more discussion of disco/boogie, the better.

The Burg is another Larry McGhee fave, Soul/Disco/Modern/Funk its all good
I never realised how dope 'Under The Skin' was until i recently came across another copy and started playing it again.
Been listening to Mascara - See You In L.A. album, There is something about this record as it's not my sort of thing but i guess it's just Luther Vandross that hits the spot
Archie bell and the drells-Lets groove Exodus-together forever Ray Barreto-Numero Uno Mantus-freestlye rhythm erotic drum band-Jerky rhythm revalacion-crocus dance
there just still seems to be a phobia of disco around these parts...even the title of the thread had to say soul/funk after mentioning disco!
soooo true.. we've got a 2 pager here with only about 1/2 a dozen tracks that would have even been played at The Loft, Garage, Gallery, 54, Better Days, The Saint... where's the fire island contingent??? lets get some Continental Baths up in here.

Mr B - Rapper Dapper B | Foud this and 10 other 12"s/LPs on eBay for $10! Too bad the rap is so stressful..
Gwen Guthrie - Hopscotch (Larry Levan remix) Definitely a "Garage" track Escorts - Make Me Over - Actually more Boogie-ish Wish & La Rita Gaskin - Nice & Soft Change - Paradise David Joseph - You Can't Hide (Your Love From Me) Touche - Just Like A Door Knob - Anyone have an OG of this they want to sell? Billy Ocean - Night (Feel Like Getting Down) - Thanks to Jeremy Cambell @ ALLDISCO for first turning me on to and actually picking me up a copy of this, super common but oh so good. Class Action - Weekend - Another Larry Levan Remix classic, the M&M remix is just as good.
Exodus - Together Forever - Anyone have an original? Goes for crazy money. Just picked up a weird reissue with the acappella, the dub, and the original.
The Sisters Love - Give Me Your Love - '73 funky soul track but kinda fits cause of it's popularity at The Gallery and Continental Baths. Just picked up the Danny Krivit Edit.
