hehe. im listenin to that rite now. ironically, the first track is aptly named "San Francisco".

funny shit

ha ...... what about "Fire Island" with the line about "don't go near the bushes!!!"

It is the more down-tempo track called "Village People" that that album is collected for.

^^^^
really? a collectors item?

i have like 3 copies. and yes..."village people" is the shiznit kaboom. the dark, down tempo dance music always gets to me. this album has none of that "happy" shit. i like it.

It isn't rare & worth big money, but people who collect disco & philly will usually want this minor classic. Plus it has the "guess who this is?" factor.

JDC was a cool label too. If I was at home I could tell ya more.

There were alot of Cassablanca disco cuts, and I used to have alot of them, but in a bind for cash, I sold em'. This was years ago, so I just can't remember what you might want to look for, but good luck!

I'm not doubting your knowledge, but on what song did they use a disco sample ?

Eddie Kendricks: "Date With The Rain", "Goin Up In Smoke" & "Girl You Need A Change Of Mind".
The Originals: "Down To Love Town"
Carl Bean: "I Was Born This Way"

YES!!!! That's what I'm talking about!
All of these are classics! I still play these in my House sets.
