Hi, recently someone ask me about this rare gem from an old disco tape dated 1975. It's an early-disco shite a-la Crown Heights Affair... but it isn't.
Can u ID?

My guess is The Vast Majority "Love for Sale"a version of the Cole/Porter song from 1975.

Definately, NOT. I have the entire Vast Majority 1975 album, and its not "Love for sale".
Although seems they are singing "love for saaaale.. papapaaarapapaaa"

It definitely IS some version of Cole Porter's "Love For Sale"-- I have the Vast Majority LP at home but haven't listened to it for a long time---if you have it also and say it's not their version, I'll have to trust you--BUT that is the correct song title. I knows my Cole Porter.

I'm listening again Vast Majority's LP Move It! from 1975... and IT IS NOT "LOVE FOR SALE" Sounds completely different!!It definitely IS some version of Cole Porter's "Love For Sale"-- I have the Vast Majority LP at home but haven't listened to it for a long time---if you have it also and say it's not their version, I'll have to trust you--BUT that is the correct song title. I knows my Cole Porter.
Ok, the group could be the vast majority, similar instrumentation and sound recording... I think they pressed a 12" with Love for Sale and Ocean's Apart on the flip... A DIFFERENT VERSION ON THE 12"? (strange tho..)

It's some jazzy-arranged version of "Love For Sale"---kinda like Yambu did with "Sunny"....the basic melody of the song comes through around 1:30....maybe not the Vast Majority version....but some version of that song.

I think James Last did a version around about the same time in a disco style!!...

I found the James Last version on Youtube--but it wasn't the same as your sample--but listen to it and you'll hear the melody.

damn...
I'm sure that the track is not titled "Love for sale"... ive searched all versions arround 75/76 and nothing...
This is a hard one for sure.
But hey, sure there is some "disco-fanatic" who could help us on this one!!! Pleasee

Glad you found it....I listened to the first minute or so of this and didn't think it sounded like your sample--but maybe I needed to listen further?
