    Unknown instrumental disco track ~1979

    This is an instrumental disco track with a sax player from 1979.
    Some words are sung at the end, but they offer no clue to me.

    A sample of the song can be found here:

    Unknown instrumental disco track ~1979

    I like the pinball machine sound samples, I believe they are from "Playboy" Playboy Pinball By Bally of 1978 at www.pinballrebel.com

    Pretty perfunctory in my book which sounds kinda Library music to my ears. I'm probably wrong.....of course!

    Definitely not MTL Express as I have a copy of that LP. No idea what it is, but yes, it needs to be discovered! :icon_cool:

    After some searching, I'm more and more convinced this is a remake of the "Playboy's Theme", originally composed by Cy Coleman in the 50's. Similar version was used for Playboy's "After Dark", in the 80's when The Playboy Channel was launched on cable-TV.
    Some websites hint that the track had also been known as "Pinball Playboy", but I didn't have any luck searching.

    disco1999 and Prof.Factor. I have ordered the lp to

    Today I received the Cook County lp Pinball Playboy from 1979,
    and I can confirm 100% the track indeed is Pinball Playboy (Playboy
    Theme) by C. Coleman and C. Leigh (lp produced by Vic Caesar).
    The rest of the lp is okay, but this track is the standout IMHO.

    Thanks again for your help!!! I will keep the sample for another week
    on my homepage for those still interested in it.
