Extra Inches – Disco! Vol.5
So, back to the Disco for some further exhilaration and it’s a 10 track selection to take you back to the halcyon days of gleaming disco balls and unrequited love. Actually, from personal experience I think it might have been something to do with the way I danced that led to lonely walks home but the passion for music was never in doubt.
Musique, Sheila B. Devotion, Bombers and Metropolis are the perfect exponents here of great disco music whilst more soulful offerings come from the late Teddy Pendergrass and another Philly veteran, Archie Bell with his Drells and a track from his ‘Dance Your Troubles Away’ album. The Salsoul label provides two tracks from 1979 with First Choice and also the percussive genius of Candido. There’s the evergreen Melba Moore, who’s still making great soul music, and Chantal Curtis, who provides one of my favourite disco tracks ever: ‘Get Another Love’. It’s all good! BH
