Track ListingA1. Experimental Products – Who Is KipA2. Bagarre – Lemonsweet B1. Sarr Band – Double Action B2. Georges Rodi – Part I & II notes Experimental Products are the early eighties experimental synth pioneers from Philadelphia, best known for the much compiled underground classic \'\'Glowing In The Dark\'\' which was licensed by DJ Hell’s International Deejay Gigolos. “Who Is Kip Jones†is a little known gem from their later period in it’s glorious full length mix. Cult Italian electro disco band Bagarre are next. \'\'Lemonsweet\'\' is taken from the album \'\'Circus\'\' and this is the impossible to find full length \'\'disco\'\' version. Sarr Band’s very rare and super in demand \'\'Double Action\'\' was originally a b-side to the better known \'\'Magic Mandrake\'\' on Calender records from 1978. This has been re-edited for a more club friendly situation. Georges Rodi is the legendary 70\'s French library producer who worked with Cerronne and was a member of cult cosmic band Arpadys. Two tracks (parts I & II) are taken from his acclaimed and obviously hard to find Space album which came out on Crea sound in 1979. Part I is \'\'Skateboarding In NY\'\' while part II is \'\'Contested Planet\'\' both are the original album versions. Media Condition » Mint (M) Sleeve Condition » Mint (M) |

Information on the Disco Genre
The disco sound, style and ethos has its roots in the late 1960s. New York City blacks, gays, heterosexuals, women and Hispanics adopted several traits from the hippies and psychedelia. They included overwhelming sound, free form dancing, "trippy" lighting, colorful costumes, and hallucinogens. Psychedelic soul groups like the Chambers Brothers and especially Sly and The Family Stone influenced proto-disco acts such as Isaac Hayes, Willie Hutch and the Philadelphia Sound discussed in the next paragraph. In addition the positivity, lack of irony and earnestness of the hippies informed proto-disco music like M.F.S.B.'s "Love Is the Message.Philly and New York soul were evolutions of the Motown sound. The Philly Sound is typified by lavish percussion, which became a prominent part of mid-1970s disco songs. Early songs with disco elements include "Only the Strong Survive" (Jerry Butler, 1968), "Message to Love" (The Jimi Hendrix Experience, 1969), "Soul Makossa" (Manu Dibango, 1972) and "The Love I Lost" (Harold Melvin & The Blue Notes, 1973).
The early disco sound was largely an urban American phenomenon with producers and labels such as SalSoul Records (Ken, Joe and Stanley Cayre), Westend Records (Mel Cheren), Casablanca (Neil Bogart), and Prelude (Marvin Schlachter) to name a few. They inspired and influenced such prolific European dance-track producers as Giorgio Moroder and Jean-Marc Cerrone. Moroder was the Italian producer, keyboardist, and composer who produced many songs of the singer Donna Summer. These included the 1975 hit "Love to Love You Baby", a 17-minute-long song with "shimmering sound and sensual attitude". Allmusic.com calls Moroder "one of the principal architects of the disco sound".
The disco sound was also shaped by Tom Moulton who wanted to extend the enjoyment of the music — thus single-handedly creating the "Remix" which has influenced many other latter genres such as techno, and pop. DJs and remixers would often remix (i.e., re-edit) existing songs using reel-to-reel tape machines. Their remixed versions would add in percussion breaks, new sections, and new sounds. Influential DJs and remixers who helped to establish what became known as the "disco sound" included David Mancuso, Tom Moulton, Nicky Siano, Shep Pettibone, the legendary and much-sought-after Larry Levan, Walter Gibbons, and later, New York–born Chicago "Godfather of House" Frankie Knuckles.
Disco was also shaped by nightclub DJs such as Francis Grasso, who used multiple record players to seamlessly mix tracks from genres such as soul, funk and pop music at discothèques, and was the forerunner to later styles such as house. Women also played important roles at the turntable. Karen Cook, the first female disco DJ in the United States, spun the vinyl hits from 1974 – 1977 at 'Elan, Houston, TX, and also programmed music for clubs throughout the US that were owned by McFaddin Ventures.
