Two Tons: Martha Wash & Izora Armstead - Get The Feeling

This is my first CD rip. I recently purged almost all my cds trying to make way for vinyl. So I copied most that I sold before selling. Here is one that I actually decided against selling cause its too hard to find the releases on vinyl. I love it. Its so classic and I'm sure you'll enjoy Sylvester's two main ladies as much as I do.

Melba Moore - Never Say Never


I am a new fan of Melba. I just won 11 of her albums on ebay. This and one other I got before that though. This one here, "Never Say Never", is my new currant favorite record I'm spinning. Its pure Boogie bliss. I hope you all like it. For those who are familiar with Boogie Times you'll be familiar with the sounds laid down here. Smooth 80s grooves.

Constellation Orchestra - Perfect Love Affair (LP)



Disco would have a big gaping hole in it the size of the one in the Ozone layer if it wasn't for Prelude Records. This record right here has got to be one of my all time favorites of the Prelude library and amongst my top records in all disco. This record right here makes me wish I was born in the early 60s so I could have been livin' it up in NYC at all the hottest discos losing my mind to "Perfect Love Affair" and "Dancing Angel" which are 2 of my favorite of the 4 tracks laid down on this album. Now in case you didn't know CO was a band that didn't really exist. It was a concept album that used the same line up as most of the other one offs on Prelude's disco ventures in the late 70s. I discovered them via a Johnny Fiasco sample used on one of his tracks during the Cajual days. I hope ya'll live for this one the way I do.

Temptations - Hear To Tempt You



Its been a while since I've been here to tempt you so I thought I'd let the Temps help me. Here is an excellent Philly Soul/Disco classic by way of Detroit's own Temptations. You all may have noticed by now that I'm not big on writing. I prefer to let the music speak for itself. I skipped a couple cuts I didn't like and it took me a while to get the noise reduction process to an acceptable standard, and I have a high standard. Enjoy ya'll.
