early 80's song ID - disco/early house/club - "city nig

[stephenejones]

Hi,

I've got a white label with just "City Nights" printed on it both sides. Both sides are seemingly identical. The cat no. is CBL-1-1U-1.

It's an early 80's (I'd guess '82-'84??) disco/electrofunk early house tune, nothing groundbreaking and original but I kinda like it :-)

1) can anyone ID it, 2) was it released, is it rare,etc???

I've put up an MP3 for a few weeks at http://www.essjays.co.uk/citynights.mp3 (80KBPS, 30KHZ - 1.4MB)

I've only seen it once before on an online record dealer site with no details either... difficult to search for on the net without much other details...

Cheers,
Steve J

if i would have to venture a guess i would say that either harold faltermeyer was the main artist or main producer of this song.(the guy who did "axel f"). without a doubt that synth riff is all h. f.

Well that would defenatly mix with Paul Hardcastle "19". Same drum program. It almost kinda sounded like the 12" B sides of some of ABC's late 80s tracks, but I never heard that before. Defenatly not Harold Faltermyer, he was part of the Giorgio Moroder musical family and has the distinctive sound simmaler to Moroder.
