Better Days
West 48th Street between 8th & 9th Ave, New York, NY
Tee Scott DJ
Better Days was a late night spot in a ground level space that resembled a large restaurant or bar (think Beefsteak Charlies type). This was a very early club with a crude sound system and slip cue mixing techniques that later progressed.
Despite its early roots it had a hot vide and a client่le that ran that gamut from black and Hispanic gays to transvestites and prostitutes to whites and couples ... hey it was Times Square in the 1970s... and plenty of hard core dance junkies. You could see people rolling out of the club at 7 am.
Despite its rough image, once inside you were made welcome. Music was a mix of R&B, Motown, and early disco.

COMMENTS ON THIS DISCO / DISCOTHEQUE / NIGHTCLUB
Oh, do I remember this place. It was a wild place, with unbelievable characters. It is a shame that places like that don't exist anymore. I remember checking out some hot looking girls, then seeing the Adam's Apple. Opps! How about the loud Velvet Hats that were inside there. More velvet hats per foot then anywhere else in the world. The music was pretty good, very soul oriented. Got any pictures?
Hard core partying!
