scores

was in fayetteville a couple of weekends ago and my friend alannah had acquired a big stack of records, mostly of the late 70s to early 80s euro disco variety. naturally she thought of me! as she doesn't have a turntable any more, she let me pick through and take what i wanted. i was so excited. and i'll be sharing some of the gems from that score here over time. so let's start with a handful today.

first up, two tracks from kongas' africanism album. great cover plus "a cerrone production" sold me. get yourself a drink and get ready for their 15 minutes-plus cover of "gimme some lovin." and is it just me, or does the opening of "tattoo woman" sound remarkably like the opening of abc's "the look of love"?

kongas—tattoo woman
kongas—gimme some lovin

and here's some nice, easy rolling disco from c.d. band. i know nothing about them other than the production team may have also brought us the village people, so school me someone. here's the title track from their album hoodoo voodoo.
