Abbe Rainbows - Abbe Lane Goes Disco! - Seems Abbe's kids were wondering when their entertainment legend mommy was going to make another record and she obliged them in 1979 with this five song disco EP. There is one original, You Make It Hard To Love You and four fabulous disco covers including swirling disco versions of the fag classics Over The Rainbow and Ain't No Mountain High Enough (do you think there was a target audience?). Our favorite (aside from Abbe's awe-inspiring hair-do on the cover) is the Knock On Wood-esque rendition of Chi Coltrane's Thunder and Lightning. This disc provides an enthralling, non-stop 'high handbag'* experience. Condition of vinyl before transfer was VG++. Beautifully audio cleaned. $15.00 includes shipping USPS in continental USA.




Village People - Can't Stop The Music - Original Motion Picture Soundtrack - Like we said in the "Where Disco Dared" liner notes, "If you didn't live through disco then you don't know what it was like." Well, to get a better idea of exactly what it was like, just put on this FABULOUS! soundtrack album from the 1980 film. It features the boys' earlier hit YMCA and five additional Village People songs including the sensational title track. One of our faves, I Love You To Death and three other Village People songs were not available until now. Also included on the album are two Ritchie Family songs that were largish club hits at the time. And there are two terrific David London pop anthems as well, of which the ultra-catchy Samantha should have been a top 10 hit! And about the music...well, what can we say. It's classic Jacques Morali which bounces back and forth between the hippest of underground disco and the corniest pop hokum ever produced which gives it a unique magnetic quality that never fails to draw the listener in. When you hear material like this being sung so earnestly by such 'macho men' it widens the eyes and drops the jaw to the floor while at the same time titillating the ears with the sparkle and allure that made disco the mega-sensation it was. Condition of vinyl before transfer was VG++/Near Mint. Beautifully audio cleaned. $15.00 includes shipping USPS in continental USA.
Bob Guillaume - I Who Have Nothing/The Streets Are Filled With Dancing - We're guessing that Bob was the hipper, more Disco friendly moniker of the then star of TV's "SOAP" Robert Guillaume. Whatever. What we have here is Bob's foray into Disco - with a vengeance! It is FANTASTIC! This is a transfer of Bob's 1978 12" single, the year before he spun-off into "Benson" and legendary TV superstardom. The plug song is the drama-queen classic I Who Have Nothing done in classic Disco style featuring Bob's thrillingly diva-like vocal performance. We're guessing that Sylvester heard this and not to be out-diva'd by a TV 'maid' he released his own 'Sylvester-ized' diva version the following year. The 'B-side' is also dancey but not in the classic Disco style. The Streets Are Made For Dancing written by Phil & Mitch Margo, is sort of funk tinged dance pop that almost foretells New Wave infused Dance by a year or two and actually sounds like something The Jets or Shalamar might have done some years later. Both songs are terrific and clock in at around 6 minutes each. Also interesting to note, the record was exquisitely produced by Phil & Mitch Margo who were two of the original members of The Tokens and who continued as writers and producers of great pop music for many, many years. Condition of vinyl before transfer was VG++. Beautifully audio cleaned. $8.00 in a slim case includes shipping USPS in continental USA.

Benihana by Marilyn Chambers
Disco and Marilyn Chambers - A glorious 70's combination. This is a reproduction of Marilyn's 12" vinyl disco classic "Benihana". Includes the original B side, the enchanting "So I Cried A Little Bit" which sounds more like something Claudine Longet (or maybe Charlene) might have done. Condition of vinyl before transfer: NM. Beautifully audio cleaned. $8.00 in a slim case includes shipping USPS in continental USA.
Claudia Cardinale - Sun...I Love You - 4 Sensational 70's Tracks - Two of these gems are lost disco treasures and the other two are unique songs that show a side of Claudia one can see in her eyes in her brilliant film performances. Claudia performs all four songs in English. Condition of vinyl before transfer: Excellent to NM. Beautifully audio cleaned. $8.00 in a slim case includes shipping USPS in continental USA.

*'High Handbag': Okay, here we go...Stand up, put on something fabulous and DISCO, put one hand on one hip and hold the other hand in the air as if holding up a clutch bag and now sashay back and forth to the beat of the music. Music that makes you dance like that is "high handbag" music.
