Heard at Boston gay bars '79-'81?

[RareDsco]

Ok, heres a really hard one for all you experts out there. This is the one song i never got the name of or heard again after it got HEAVY play in the Boston/P-town area in the late 70's.Female lead vocal, some of the lyrics:

"Satifaction guarenteed,
A destinations all I need-
get a little bit of lovin'-
and make it last-
forget the past"

"hey, whats the time of day?
seems like I've been away-
free to be the way I feel-
to-day"


Also a list of gay meca city names called out in btween choruses by male background singers-

"New York!"
"Fran-cisco" etc....

It's "Take Off" by Harlow, originally released on Celsius records in Canada, later reissued on Rio.

"Take Off" is the one of the most asked for records. I was recently asked at a record store in Silver Lake by a very unlikely-discogoer grandfather type!!!!! The people that ask never have a clue what the title is. They ask for the disco song with the big city names shouted out. I always thought it should be titled "Satisfaction Guaranteed" myself.

Wow, thanks guys, that was fast! :D

Question...what is this french pressing 12" I have of "Take Off" on Champagine Records. Has the 11 min Harlow on side A then on side B has the 7 min version of "You And Me" by Spargo and "Margarita" by Massara.

Harlow is in the Disco Records Vault for those that want release data on it.

The Champagne 12" is somewhat different from the album version, a bit punchier and the sound quality is better of course. However, the orchestration is more ornate on the album.

This Champagine Records 12" was the same version I used to hear in the club as well...so the LP is different? Cool, i'll have to find it sometime :D
