About the session

"It was the 70's,1975 to be exact. Two Things In One a musical group based In Northern California packed their bags and headed to LA in search of fame and fortune. After getting into the LA grind the band shed it's name for a new horizon.  In steps a new name and a new attitude, Skye! Disco was all the craze and clubs like Oskos were hot on the scene. On one spring morning in 1976 Skye found themselves at A&M Studios with an opportunity to make its first record.  With the help of a new acquaintance Gordon DeWitty who had been recently introduced to the band. Skye worked up and arranged the song " Ain't No Need " for the session. So in one session that lasted no more than 10 hours the tracks for part 1 and 2 of "Ain't No Need" now regarded as a Disco Classic, were born. The record was self released by Skye in the summer of 1976."  --- Michael Jeffries 2018
