Hey Greg, awesome set..as usual.

I remember seeing something in Billboard about the Mistracharge single.
I beleive it said that it was the FIRST single that had been targetted at disco's to try and get it in the charts (a UK group).
Something along those lines, if I can find the article I will quote, but there was certainly something unique about the release strategy.

Greg: Always an interesting read and listen (for the odd title that I never played or had forgotten about). I'm glad the differences between UK and American disco tastes are being aired. We definitely trod a much different path over here. One that didn't suddenly fall to the wayside.
