More wax on the decks.......on a bit of a disco / salsoul tip.....

 

(Being part 3 in a series in which I attempt to prove that Manji's theory that all music should only be listened to in it's original album format is erroneous).

 

Instant Funk - 'I Got My Mind Made Up' http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0y5QmQAn5gU

IMO this is the greatest dance track ever. Utterly filthy and sexy. Larry Levan on the remix.

 

Inner Life featuring Jocelyn Brown - 'Ain't No Mountain High Enough' http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oT-fdFe23Zc

Possibly the best female vocalist of the last 30 years with Larry Levan's breathtaking mix of this classic tune. All time great.

 

Loleatta Holloway & Dan Hartman - 'Love Sensation' http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r-31f6V_yqE

Is this the most sampled song ever? Could be. And what a classic.

 

First Choice featuring Rochelle Fleming - 'Let No Man Put Asunder' http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JHhSUJ5Xqp4

Is this the most sampled song ever? Shep Pettibone's original mix is the best.

 

The Clash - 'The Magnificent Dance'

Regularly played at the Paradise Garage and the Warehouse. Why? Because it's ****ing gorgeous.

 

NYC Peech Boys - 'Don't Make Me Wait' http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PcJ5yutn4S4

Heavily sampled garage classic.

 

Dinosaur L - 'Go Bang' http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BYfUGBfKCPU

Arthur Russell producing, Francois Kevorkian mixing. Genius.

 

Mahogany - 'Ride On the Rhythm' (Dub) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d-_qhZNykeA&feature=related

Finishing off with something a little downtempo to warm you down. Another West End Records classic.

Yellow Moon Band - Travels into Several Remote Nations of the World.

 

I remember hearing 'Chimney' on 6 Music a couple of years ago and thinking that it was some obscure early 70s release on the Harvest label.

I was surprised to discover it wasn't 'vintage'.

 

Great album.
