I was in this rock band in D.C. area back in the 70's... disco broke out, we had to conform and got some changes to our sest . Fat Back , Scaggs stuff like that. We got current and stayed in the biza bit longer. I think about 300 bands went out of style in about 2 weeks. Clubs went disco, then they went DJ. To this day if I walk into a club that has a DJ, I leave. Live music actually employs people who have spent time with their instruments and developed their musicianship.
Come listen to this song and and many other "lost hits" and "chart wonders" from the 70's (and some 80's) on a free internet station, "OffTheCharts"
Go to Live365.com and type OFF THE CHARTS into the search box. Click on the station logo and the stream should begin. The link to the station is also on my YouTube home page.
Weird...the faster tempo makes it sound much more disco and much less funk. Can't say I approve, but obviously some people dig it. I dunno, I'll stick with the standard speed.
Oh, you did this on purpose? Huh, maybe I should've by bothered to read! Now that I know this was deliberate, that's pretty cool. It does sound like you got the affect you were looking for. I had assumed this was just a weird copy of the song.
There are others who don't like the sped up version of Cheap Trick's "Reach Out" found here, although I swear by it. So to each their own.
I still prefer the original, but keep doing what you're doing. No harm in it. Either way I say bring the funk.
I often mix things like this with disco dnb, mr scruff and other soul grooves. I love the upbeat pace :)
The 7" single in the vid is the vinyl I played, my decks have key correction, I can put the pitch/speed of a record up, but retain the tone/key of the original speed, I do use CD decks for stuff sometimes tho.
Again am glad you like it, feel free to check my vids and playlists for a wealth of stuff in these and other interesting flavours LOL
Hey BigBam,,do you know the name of the other song? I've been looking for it as well. I thought it was Yum Yum Gimme some! One of the lines was Rock the house, lets Shock the house?
i dunno, its the only copy ive come across, can upload a clearer picture and whats scratched between the lead out grooves if thats of any use to you :)
ahh i c, didnt realise that, ive got allsorts so must have a load of US ones and quite a few EU ones, is this just for polydor or certain dates? as i have say stuff on stiff which has a paper label and as far as i know is EU, btw atm im trying to source the old style 3 prong centres in black, though have found sources of the ones in the picture in red, black and yellow they just dont look or work the same/as well, do you know anywhere that still does those? cheers, gav.
So tell me pls this is funk ? and where can i get much ? :o

Yeah, I have stanton str8-150 decks which have up to +/- 50%, key correction and reverse to name a few things!
I often play stuff faster when DJing, especially Uplifting DnB :)
Im hoping to do a funky disco mix at some point for upload tho ive been saying that since last year :S
There are a cpl of my mixes playlisted atm but theyre kinda Jazzy to Dark DnB tho the Jazz & Beanstalk mix is nice.
Ill have to get back to it at some point, Ive sent an invite so youll know when I am ={[O.o]}=

well i say that because I've never seen a N.American 45 that doesn't have the paper label on the vinyl. the EU ones are molded completely by a press.

ahh i c, didnt realise that, ive got allsorts so must have a load of US ones and quite a few EU ones, is this just for polydor or certain dates? as i have say stuff on stiff which has a paper label and as far as i know is EU, btw atm im trying to source the old style 3 prong centres in black, though have found sources of the ones in the picture in red, black and yellow they just dont look or work the same/as well, do you know anywhere that still does those? cheers, gav.
gavdoff 3 years ago
i think it's for other record corps but i don't own any. i've just seen them in used stores.
ooooh the centres. yikes i haven't a clue where those are from and where to get them. all i know is they're really really old (40+ years yeah?)
