Disco (soul/funk) records you’re feelin

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'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.
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...
 
Anyone else think Panache is boring?
yes
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??
