Default Was there ever a disco version of . . .

"Love for Sale"? It might have been just an instrumental. I vaguely remember hearing it on the radio once when I was a kid.

I'm new here. Now in LA but originally from NYC. Grew up listening to All-Disco 92 WKTU in the late '70s. Before WKTU came along, there was an FM station in NYC that had all-disco shows. Forgot the call letters. Maybe Disco 102.

Thanks!

In the 1970s WPIX-FM called itself "Disco 102". They broadcast at 101.9 mHz. Currently WQCD, a "chill jazz" station occupies that frequency.

Yes, "Love For Sale" by Vast Majority on D&M Records charts in late 1975.

I presume it's the Cole Porter tune.

"Love for sale
appetizing young love for sale"

Damn, you're good! Thanks!

Now it's all coming back to me. Vast Majority -- I did a search on towerrecords.com but nothing came up.

Also recorded by Donald Bird And 125 ST NYC 1981. Very "catchy" and funky version.
