Shiny Disc Sunday ! (And most of the week it seems, must rip some vinyl)
Start of a Series featuring Razormaid’s rival Hot Tracks and CD’s from a box set I was sent a while back. (All ripped in FLAC)
The Box Set was released in 2008 and is worth an eyewatering 3 figure sum on Discogs. Useful for those DJ’s like me who like to play something different from the 80’s instead of those appalling modern re-edits.
Disc 1 seems to be heavy on the 70’s Disco.
Chris Cox extends and edits the Emotions classic from 1977. Very subtle. Cowbell and unnecessary traffic overdubs are included in the Patrick Cowley and Bobby Viteritti mix, very synthy and a lot slower than I remember. A great version.!
Cox breathes a bit of new life into a forgotten Cher classic and Glenn Cattanach does a supreme job on Boogie Oogie Oogie suitably brightened up.
Too much additional on track 5, still a bit of a Banger !!
A classic Summer track with a bit of a sharper edge and the cheesy but obscure. The Paul Jabara track from 1976, a cheeky floor filler for any party!
The Stephanie Mills track is a bit harder but what vocals and that synth bass!! (Has some quirky over dubs)
The highlight is a Disco megamix , not too chopped up but an absolute blast. Not too cheesy for HiNRG.

Maybe George or Andreas sent it over 🤔😭.
Wasn’t Me ❗👌
yep, I sent it a while ago, mainly because I wanted to read DJJEDREDY’s comments!
Cool George – that’s fantastic, appreciate it💯✅👏👍
It’s the least I can do! You guys share so many amazing rarities. I’m still a million times grateful for the Razormaid chapters you shared!
I’d better get commenting then George !
Do you or Mike B. have any more of the chapter series releases?
fanx for fab flac whoever sent it to you
In Flac, so it wasn’t from me. I’m still in stone ages of MP3s. Though I did finally unpack/hook-up my never-used new cheapo ION turntable (about 5 years old now, USB outputs) and venture a look in my treasure chest of vinyl. The kid asked me, “why do folks collect wax” and I just had to show him that it was an infliction that only half-took hold of me. Wish I never discovered cassettes, glad I missed most the 8-track craze.
Thanks for the music whomever…. think I will enjoy more of it as it phases out of disco though. No I didn’t have a “Disco Sucks” shirt or attend a 1979 Anti-Disco baseball game.
Thank you
