all extended/disco/long/remix versions of course.

wait, where are you going? what do you mean you don't want one?

whoops, Second Image - Don't You, should be the last track.

― scott seward (scott seward), Monday, 22 August 2005 02:32 (twenty years ago)

i own records by several of those artists!

― s/c (Jody Beth Rosen), Monday, 22 August 2005 02:37 (twenty years ago)

I don't get it.

― The Good Dr. Bill (The Good Dr. Bill), Monday, 22 August 2005 02:37 (twenty years ago)

"getting it" is kinda overrated.

― scott seward (scott seward), Monday, 22 August 2005 02:49 (twenty years ago)

I'm down, but Supertramp?

― Rickey Wright (Rrrickey), Monday, 22 August 2005 06:11 (twenty years ago)

I thought this was gonna be a Dan Selzer thread!

― Matos-Webster Dictionary (M Matos), Monday, 22 August 2005 06:18 (twenty years ago)

Jody's response fails to surprise me!

― A Viking of Some Note (Andrew Thames), Monday, 22 August 2005 06:21 (twenty years ago)

The BBC have finally woken up to the news:

A shame they had to illustrate the piece with a picture of Fatboy Slim though...

Oops - a little trigger happy with the old mouse there.

That should of course have gone into the Bob Moog thread...

Robbie

― Robbie Baldock (bongoboy), Monday, 22 August 2005 12:49 (twenty years ago)

This took a lot of work, did it not?

― Confounded (Confounded), Monday, 22 August 2005 17:23 (twenty years ago)

I don't think I know this Opal track! YSI??

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Monday, 22 August 2005 17:28 (twenty years ago)

Sometimes it's the ephemeral stuff that captures an era better than the movers and shakers. But are you endorsing these tracks? Inquiring readers want to know. Or didja pay another visit to the thrift shop?

― Sang Freud (jeff_s), Monday, 22 August 2005 19:43 (twenty years ago)

ha! some of them i definitely endorse. part of me liked the idea of compiling an uncool list like this of non-hit r&b with now-discredited drum machine sounds cuz, well, if i didn't, who would? not that that describes everything up there. and i like the uniformity of sound too. eric carmen really does fit in nicely with millie scott and melba moore. a lot of it is just disco by another name. forgotten by the history books in favor of more influential sounds from chicago and new york and detroit. but there is gold to be found if you dig deep enough. for every pointer sisters smash there were 15 zillion shalamar-wannabes yearning to hit it big. comateens were in a league of their own. that is why they get two tracks.

― scott seward (scott seward), Monday, 22 August 2005 19:54 (twenty years ago)

Do you play this stuff out somewhere?

― Confounded (Confounded), Monday, 22 August 2005 21:48 (twenty years ago)

It's a great looking list, I've love to hear it (even as an mp3 playlist of course).

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Monday, 22 August 2005 21:53 (twenty years ago)

yes, as an mp3 playlist. wouldn't that be something. (cough). hmm.
