Do you know of any songs like this? I was reading another member's post and he stated that he didn't remember I Feel Love being as popular in his circles as it is today. And since I wasn't around to enjoy the disco era myself, I just wondered what other songs have gotten better (or more popular) with age...

I FEEL LOVE by DONNA SUMMER??? That song packed the dance floor the first time it was played. It saved the album I REMEMBER YESTERDAY. The medley on side one just didn't cut it.

I Remember Yesterday was her most successful album since her "Love To Love You Baby" album some 18 months prior. Yesterday reached #18 on the Billboard albums chart. "I Feel Love" was the monster hit off this album (#1 UK, #6 Pop, #9 Soul) and another track cut off the LP, "Black Lady", was used as a backing track to an acts' perofmance on "The Gong Show". "Love's Unkind", which was part of the medley on Side A, was a hit in England.

I think a lot of tracks that have been sampled by the House producers that perhaps were not that mainstream (in London anyway) have had a revival. Ones that spring to mind are: -
This Time Baby - Jackie Moore
Let No Man Put Asunder - First Choice
Feed The Flame - Barbara Johnston
Safari - Modern Sound Corporation (it still doesn't do it for me :o ) ...I'm sure there are dozens of others!!

With Let No Man Put Asunder, I'm thinking it was the Shep Pettibone remix (1982?) that made this song huge. If he had never revisited that track, it wouldn't have become the bassriff in 'Jack Your Body', etc....
What about Jakki's Sun Sun Sun? Did it get a lot of props back in the day? Now the 12" goes for mad money on the internet because of the Larry Levan CD plug.

Just pick any track that finds its way onto one of the mega jocks' compilations.
As for Sun, Sun, Sun.......if there was ever such a hyped load of shite......Good to know his mightyness, Levan had appalling taste at times.

oh boy.... the most controversial song on this board.

Why not just put it on the local dump....after you've scratched it beyond playing. You'd be doing the whole world a huge favour. So, now you have a moral dilemma. Which side of your psyche will win out? The devil's money, or purity's challenge to what is morally right?Really? I must dig it out of the box called 'Stuff for Oxfam'

An interesting philosophical dilemma.....who am I to deny someone the right to part with their hard earned readies to own something that they feel has intrinsic value. Also their tastes may be absurdly different to mine and quite like it :roll: Surely it is not immoral to profit from this and use the proceeds to buy something I like??

Apart from the scratching beyond playing, you can put it on my local dump. I'm prepared to get dirty hands to look for that little jewel wince I don't have it on vinyl. :lol:
I will place it in my heavenly garded vinyl vault, alongside Loose Joint's "Is it all over my face". Great avant-garde records.
So guys/girlz, for once, follow Quinny's advice (partly)

Exactly what moral mazes are all about, but in the end anyone with morals beyond reproach would flush Jakki down the loo, just like they would normally dispose of any other #2s.
Psst, Video, dear chap...if you really want a 7", I've got a copy you could have for 100 euros (it's only worth maybe 20, but you chuck money at cars, so......). :lol: :lol: :lol:

"SUN, SUN, SUN" hits the Billboard charts in mid-July of 1976---
I was told previously that they spelled the name " Ja Kki"--but it's not like that on that label scan...anyone know the dirty lowdown on that?
Test Pressing [Level 2]
According to the Joel Whitburn book, 'Ja Kki' was the name of the group that recorded "Sun, Sun, Sun", and the group got the name from their lone female member.

Maybe her release on West End was a solo effort and she could not use the group name?

Jakki sounded more like a bunch of people, not just one lady. Strange - I thought it was a manufactured group by Johnny Melfi, who built a whole album around that song. But then they strangely appeared on West End doing that great cover of the Jesse Green song. I've never listened to the two tracks back to back, so I don't know if the vocalists are the same.

Disco-tinged incidental and theme music from children’s shows from Japan was never that big among clubbers was it? Hearing a buzz in the streets and wanting to join those boldly going where few have ventured before I sought out a stack of scores of those Toei studios-made Japanimation things from the late 70’s. ”Coldorak”, ”The War of the Planets”, ”Albator – The Space Pirate”, ”Cobra” and ”Captain Flam” vary in quality and sound like music from classic 60’s action series such as ”The Thunderbirds”, with more percussion and ”Star Wars” bleeps. Some are very good like ”Cobra” while an ”Albator” can appear totally useless. The shows themselves were produced in Japan but most of the vinyls available in Europe were pressed in France. They realesed both albums containing passages of dialoque and all kinds of music, as well as compact 7-inchers with just the gentral themes. Some of the sounds must have been composed in Japan as they are credited to names like S. Kikuchi. Some were obviously recorded in France by Narcisse X 4 or E. Charden, with vocals sung in French, while in some instrumental cases identification of origin is difficult – would a Hoyt S. Curtin be a Brit or a Turk?
Collectable now or not, I doubt anyone ever played a ”Prince of Outer Space” by Goldes (CBS 7269) in a club when it was new in 1978. What did the kids do while listening to it, did they march around the room in syncopation with the beat? Given a spectacular treatment and packing as much energy as possible into a short two-and-half minute dose a track like that is over too quickly to really make you lose the feeling of solidity created by those copious amounts of strings but if you mix them together into one continuous soundscape they may begin to work: a whoosh of synths signaling space travel, deep voices chanting Albator! Albator!, a quick heroic theme, bleeps and robot sounds, more chanting, jazzy instrumental passages that must have bored the kids, and luckily, enormous orchestras all around. Maybe it’s not good as such but it’s interesting.
What about ”The Destruction of Mundhora” album by Final Offspring on French Carrere label out in 1977, ignored when new was it not? Where was that one recorded? The album is credited to Rody – G Nino, P. Nacabal, Ojival and Moga, Huart and Nany. Anybody know who those cats were? Their music first sounds like something sub-Meco sub-Costandinos but with a few listens you’ll get into the vibes of the 2 suites, especially the forcefully played a-side, kind of Dschinghis Khan but tougher. You get long percussive buildups, romantic melody bits and strangely arranged aggressive clashes of synths when you least expect it in mid-passage. There’s something about space disco good or bad, got to have it.

Now, here's where you blatantly dissapoint me Q! I'm a businessman, right?
If you would have offered me the record for € 100,00 I would have looked up the biddings on Gemm. But you already say that you would dump it for € 20,00, n'est-ce pas?
So! No Deal, mon amour :P
I read that you can walk on water. So, walk over the channel, to Belgium. I'll give you some business advice for € 1000,00.
(Normally I would do that for free-but it's Quinny :lol: )
