TURNTABLE LAB

the lab review

If you like the sounds of funky disco and haven't heard of Patrick Adams, pick this up! As they say, better late than never. Patrick Adams' illustrious career has been packed with hits and rare grooves that have inspired the entire genre since it's blow up in the late 70's. This is the follow up to his first Master Of The Masterpiece Vol.1 and includes rare tracks like "I Got A Big Bee - Original Demo Version(1)," and the soulful disco sounds of "Ain't No Mountain High Enough - Original Demo Version(2)," bright disco funk on "Happy Is The Only Way(3)," the chipmunkey disco of "Everybody Dance(4),"(not the Chic version) and "Dance And Shake Your Tambourine - Original Demo Version(5)." Also includes some awesome electro boogie funk, such as "Nasty Rock(6)" with nasty bass squiggles and sweet soulful sounds of "Looking For A Brand New Game(7)". Been digging for disco 12"s in NY and haven't really seen these out in the field. Definitely a rare treat. Recommended.
