Description
Taana Gardner’s s/t NYC disco classic from 1979 is celebrating its 40th anniversary! Happy birthday!
Nicely repressed, remastered and spread across 2 x 12″ sides of wax we have this mammoth, benchmark record back on the streets.
All the 12″ mixes are here, in their full glory. Pressed nice and loudly from all master sources. It’s all here. RSD 2020 sees this special west end product available for you, the lovers of this incredible, disco music. Still sounding as amazing and bombastic as it did in ’79, you’d be hard pressed to find another, more solid collection of cuts, produced by the incomparable Kenton Nix, mixed by Larry Levan – need we say more?
If you dig your classics, and you love the disco sound, this one is unmissable. You’re welcome! Produced in collaboration with Sony.
