Disco music of the 1970s-1980s for DJs & record collectors
Discussion on D.C. LaRue's "Forces Of The Night" LP Question within the Disco Music of the 70s and 80s forums, part of the General Music Discussions at DiscoMusic.com category; Something odd has always stuck out with me regarding the track Hot Jungle Drums and Voo Doo Rhythm by D.C. ...

| Well first of all, which pressing of the album do you have? Does it end at a logical point, or does it sound like they ran out of tape? I'll try to remember to check this when I get home. I have a 12" of this which I *think* runs about 9 minutes long, but I'm not sure on that. |

| Going by memory here - its the Casablanca album version (same as on the Vault listing) - picked up years ago for about $1.99 in the deleted/sale records section of a record store here in Canada - and to me its what I'd call a cold dead stop - the music is playing, the background singers are singing and then it just cuts dead. One of the female background singers does a kind of "whoooo hoo hooo" and the song cuts just as she does this. It doesn't fade out, or otherwise. It just stops dead like the song was cut short instead of the usual slow fade out. (It's time like these I wish all my vinyl wasn't in storage.) |

| Okay, I have the Canadian pressing on Pyramid, and it too ends cold and abruptly (but still at the end of a bar, so I'm assuming it's an intentional effect). The 12" is not a promo but a commercial release (with a custom sleeve; rather unusual for the time) and the label clocks it at 9:16. It ends with a fade-out. |

I've heard a couple interviews with DC and he still carries a grudge over this LP. When asked if he's warmed-up to it, after all these years, his answer was "No". He says that Bob Esti completely took-over the production and wouldn't listen to anyone else's ideas. As DC put it..."he was working with Barbra Streisand, and all these major stars. So there was just no talking to him." Even "Hot jungle Drums..." was concieved around a hot drum/percussion line that DC came-up with. It's nowhere to be found, in the final version.
