One of the most common insults on 'Soul Source' is the dimissive term 'disco shit'. Sometimes it accurately describes a poor '70s record but it is often used indiscriminately, to trash good uptempo soul, which could easily be played and is increasingly collectable.
In another thread Steve G posted an old review from 'Blackbeat' which read -
"Stargard "I'll always love you" (MCA)
This is going to be huge. No ifs, no buts, from 1978 featuring Rochelle Runnels, Debra Anderson and Janice Williams, who deliver the vocals with the power of a neutron bomb, imagine Shirley Brown and Aretha rolled into one, you got the picture. Don't be put off by their image, this is devastating. Phew!"
So can we have suggestions of great records from the 'disco era' that are collectable soul any format will do but those tantalising 7" babies are always the best.
