Funk & Boogie From The Great White North - 12/12/07
A motherlode of under-discovered dancefloor tracks from the early 80s -- mostly tracks recorded up in Montreal as part of that city's Philly-inspired club scene -- and only ever issued as 12" singles on the Street Level and Musicworks labels! The 2CD set is overflowing with gems we'd never heard before -- tracks that move between classic club, 80s groove, and straighter boogie styles -- some of which are by familiar names, but most recorded by lesser-known artists who never cracked the clubs on this side of the border. 28 tracks in all -- including "ET" by The Little Dabs, "All Of My Love" by Kim Covington, "Are You Lonely" by Hipnotic, "All Of My Love" by James Carmichael, "The Girl Is Bad" by For Love, "Sweet Little Rita" by Chestnut Brothers, "We've Got All Night" by Dee Dee T, "Expand Your Mind" by Johnny Davis, "How I Wish You Knew I Cared" by Leslie Ming, "So Shy" by Mac Mac, "Pillow Talk" by Jahmilla, "Love Disco Style" by Erotic Drum Band, "One Sided Love" by Ty Benskin, "Hungry For Your Love" by Suzann Riches, "Sex Appeal" by Sophie St Laurent, and "Give It Up Turn It Loose" by Tony & The Nite Runners. (A legit compilation, but packaged slightly cheaply. But at this price, it's a pretty good bargain!)
