Such a sweet track that definitely lives up to the hype. Reissue is now out on Invisible City Editions. Just a heads up for y'all because they won't last long.

Got my copy today! It's nice, well mastered and everything. But I can't help but think that they should have reissued it on 45 instead. Pt 2 would be killer! And it wouldn't take any glance of the original hype. Just adding to it.





Now we'll se pretty much every newcomer DJ empty the dancefloor with this. It's a hard track to play out, and I think there's only a handful that really could make it work (Hunee, Sadar etc)





But well done Invicible City! You guys are killin it!

Anyone got a Michael Boothman for around ??20 incl. shipping to the UK? Please PM me.
 
I don't see the hype on this record! I feel that if it were something common on t.k disco, nobody would give a fuck...... Just sayin and I HAVE really tried to like it
 
Not many edits are done well, agree there are way too many.


But, with records like cerrone-hooked, the KON edit is much better than the original, same with cole medina edit of bee gees..... Nothing wrong with a GOOD edit

I don't get any of this. Neither why it would be better to have the track spilt in two parts, which never happenend on the original release, nor why this would empty a dancefloor. This track kills in every decent disco/house-set as long as it's played in an moderately educated musical environment. I've seen it.

Sorry if I wasn't clear. I love the track, think it's great!





But, it's not exactly Lorraine Johnson - The more I get the more I want that just knocks everybody out on a dancefloor. It's a slower, and more deep track. With that said it really needs to be played by some one great who as well has a special day behind the decks.





I saw Hunee play it in may for a educated and connoisseur type of crowd (Boogie at the Opera in Copenhagen, probably the best disco night in Scandinavia but that's a different story) and that night people were pretty much "eeeeh" when it came on. But I guess with Hunee he could make it work another time





What I meant with the 45 thing is that for me, it would have been a more exciting reissue. It would have been a completely new issue, complementary to the rare twelve inch. And a think it would have worked great split up in two parts. Plus the ones who payed over a grand for the OG would still have the ability to shine

true, nothing is wrong with a good edit...however, those edits aren't necessarily better than the originals. they are just dope. the originals are dope too. "Disco Illusion" will be getting some high profile remixes...i'm looking forward to hearing them!

Apparently will be available again soon, just no exact date.

i'm more of a 12" head so the thought of this being put out on a 45 is heresy! this 12" is now one of the most sought after disco 12"s....IC did the world a service by reissuing this in it's full glory. Tell Giles and Joey Negro that they should stop playing this out! And I have no sympathy for whoever has spent over a grand on their originals...it will only continue to increase in value.
 
Great record! Was lucky enough to get a hold of the reissue...looks like this is going to be a tough one to track down once they are gone.
