Disco and boogie heads take note, this is some serious business! The Under The Influence series has been steady stepping it up with each release and this 3rd collection, compiled by James Glass, might just be the best one to date! Heaters galore all over this piece - from soul disco scorchers to funked-out boogie gems, reggae disco jams and unexpected punk funk killers, this thing is set to take the discerning dance floor by storm. But don't just take my word for it - check the sound on The Impossible Dreamers "Spin," Harold Butler's "Do It Anyday," and Ben's "I Would Have To Be A Fool" for starters, then get down to the sound of Manteca's "Afro Funky," and Sapphire's "Come And Dance With Me." The selection is diverse as they come, and we're all the more grateful for that! Also includes James Glass' edit of Popcorn's "Song For You," exclusive to this comp. 12 tracks over two LPs with gatefold sleeve and detailed liner notes about each selection. Highly recommended.
