    Awesome vinyl find. A eight piece funk band with subdued brass and vocalist. Strong period keys including cool Moog. They sing and harmonize. They put down killer grooves. They play in the disco era. A-side warms up with upbeat instrumental outings. B-side tears down the house with awesome soul-funk vocal tracks. All original stuff. What a gem.

      What a phenomenal Disco LP this is. Plenty of deep grooves; played performed and produced to cut it in the 1975 discoteques. My only (very minor) gripe is that Dreaming a Dream should have been presented as a full-length version. But the authentic deep disco sounds throughout this LP more than make up for any shortcomings (and won’t pull down my 5/5 rating). Hell, even the slow songs (usually a Disco act’s weakest link) have a groove that invites you in. If you dig your Disco, then DIG THIS - you wil NOT be disappointed.
