My 12" Collection Top 100 list

[dancer5612004]

Ok, at work the other day, I wrote a random list of 12" in my boxed stored collection of vinyl albums, cause I played this as a memoriy game. Now the rules of this game are 12" I actually owned, that were bought off the shelf when they were new releases. These are not swap meet finds or hand me downs from another DJ. Also, my list could include 12" I no longer have, but used to in historic reality. Marked with asteriks. Here goes:

Well I'm sure I've got a **** load of 12" Right now though I've had a few too many bacardi and coke. That said, this seems like a daunting task even sober :lol: Perhaps your top 10 12" you will never part with or something easier would be ok.

I tried the top 10 list venture. Unfortunately it evolved, and I kept thinking of the 12" I loved, but left out. So I said, to heck with it, I'll put everything I know. By the way, I still left out Jackie Moore's THIS TIME BABY and Deborah Harrys debuting HEART OF GLASS. Man!

At last!!! Someone else who rates Karma - Funk De Mambo, although one place above there's Sweet Lucy. I presume I Love Lucy by the Wilton Place Street Band and NOT Sweet Lucy by Raul de Souza. More's the pity.

I LOVE LUCY DISCO I only had on 45, and this SWEET LUCY is the one you refered to in the latter comment. Couldnt remember the artist name, and for good reason too. I honestly like FUNK DE MAMBO because of the intro which is interesting and memorable. Robert.

Good list with some classice cuts... you cant beat Grace Jones !
(Also good to see a Carol Jiani track listed !)

[dancer5612004]

Thanks for your generous critique. I'm personally glad half my list wasnt tossed in that one review, and some actually got highlighted. Cool! I still enjoyed GOOD TIMES and HAVE A CIGAR though. Being a DJ in clubs is like being a teacher, you tend to learn more from your students. Thats what I loved about it when I tossed discs during the special times of Disco and New Wave. My gratitude will always go to the public and the artists. Robert. see attachments.
