LANIER "25 hours"

Back for more...
Amazing tune, extremely hard to find, one of the rarest Disco record on earth. It starts like a Willie Hutch's song and finish like a Afro-Disco song with a soprano sax line like in the Fela's song. Incredible.

HERMAN KELLY & Life "Who's the funky DJ ?"

It seems a lot of people have a problem to extract it, so update.

Killer tune on the dance floor extract from the LP "Percussion explosion!" in 1978 on Alston, sub-label of TK records.

MARTIN CIRCUS "Je m'éclate au Sénégal"

The first group to have dared to use and impose the French language in rock. The first two albums (1969 & 1971) where more rock-oriented, while later works had were disco with the famous track "Disco Circus". Here, it's a kind of psychedelic-rock with a funky touch. Released in 1971.

SANTESSA "Just when i needed you" Joe Claussel remix

Wonderful deep tune, very peaceful.

CURTIS "How can I tell her"

Since the first day I do my best to put some rares records even some people are high in attitude and low in grattitude (dixit Dr Okeh). This one is probably one of the hardest to find Disco records in the universe. It's for you, free with a smile.
This blog is just at his beginning... The best is to come.

SAMMY GORDON & the Hip Huggers "Making love"

Sammy was the first artist to sign on the New York's Greg label (later called Red Greg), and "Making love" was written and produced by Patrick Adams. It's a nice, slowish synthesized disco track and it has Patrick's trademarks written all over it.
