    Early 80's hot disco monster - I gots to know

    This is from Tim westwoods last ever pirate show on kiss fm back in '87.

    Its from around 80-83, it could be a rap instrumental.

    Only words seem to be 'we...we want to party' near the end.

    never heard it before or since but westwood seems to think it rocked...

    Just a suggestion
    ...The way the 'harp' is being played reminds me a lot of Lee Oskar from the band, WAR ..so maybe worth checking ..he did some solo LPs as well so could take you a while?
    Fantastic chooon BTW ..have to agree with Westwood pertaining to the bassline ..WOW!!!!

    Happy Hunting!

    I'm sure it's some 80's RandB/funk band. Next time it might be a good idea to try to get some of the lead vocal (if there is one), it's much easier to identify some singers than musicians.

    I'm a big WAR fan, and I know some Lee Oskar tracks, so I might be able to help...-only, link broken. Maybe try YouSendIt or zShare.

    Well, I doubt there's any connection with WAR or Lee Oskar. And I couldn't hear the harp mentioned by Jester. It definitely sounds '80s. Kinda reminds me of early Material work.

    KoolChris - I believe 'harp' is a musos word for harmonica.

    ol'skinflint - As mentioned, the only clue are the words near the end of the track.

    Lee oskar could actually be a good bet. I'll get on the case.
    Thanks for all your efforts so far guys.
