Classics such as these are always perfect no matter how you mix them up. Your list reminds me of the 100 All Time Dance Classics of the 1970s CDs.

rhessel,

Love your list. These are some of my faves. I'm looking for the records listed above. Where did you find them? Downloads? Or are they on some cd compilation?

**rhessel** · July 31st, 2004, 05:42 PM

Hi everybody:

Hi Markie have you noticed that 100% of these songs are in the Billboard Disco Charts?

Well answering your question:

12. From a brazilian CD compilation;
13. Downloaded from Audio Galaxy (oh, how I miss it);
14. From a brazilian CD compilation;
22. Downloaded from Audio Galaxy;

8. Downloaded from Audio Galaxy.

The sound quality from this brazilian compilation is so so.

Cheers,

rhessel

Hi everybody:

It is a 73-74 selection indeed.

When doing the 75-76 selection I'll include "To each his own" for sure.

Also I'll include:

-> Yambu - Sunny;
-> Eddie Drennon - Let's do the latin hustle;
-> Ritchie Family - Brazil;
-> The Trammps - Hooked for Life;
-> Vickie Sue Robinson - Turn the beat arouns;
-> Jay & The Techniques - Number Onederful (I'm not sure if it's written this way);
-> Cameo - Find my way;
-> Tavares - It only takes a minute;
-> Hues Corporation - Love Corporation

and many others I still have to think about it. Sugestions welcome.

This one is for markydefad:

For the Whispers - Once More With Feeling follow the link Whispers

Hi,

the brazilian compilation our friend RHESSEL mentioned is called BLACK BEAT and it was edited in vinyl in the 70's by EPIC/CBS records in 7 volumes. 2 of the original albums [#1 and #6] were released on CD by SONY in the 90's - in a lousy edition I must say; the other volumes of the collection are CD-Rs made from the original LP editions.

This BLACK BEAT series was immensely popular in BRASIL at the time and even today - that is why we know so well obscure tracks like RITA FORTUNE's or SPIRITUAL CONCEPT's LET'S TAKE IT ALL or LOVE COMMITTEE's ONE DAY OF PEACE.

MARKY, I have THE MODULATIONS album on LP and, with a big hand from our big friend BLAXMAN, I have passed it to CD with GREAT SOUND QUALITY. If you want a copy, let me know, OK?

More than one day of piece for U and me,

zeca azevedo :D

**markydefad** · August 7th, 2004, 03:54 PM

Geez, my thanks to the "Boys From Brazil"!!!! :D

Rhessel,

I found the Whispers' "Bingo: The Janus Recordings (1972- 1974)" on cd at Amoeba. Thanks for the tip. It compiles the 3 LPs the Whispers recorded for Janus. The third one-- "Bingo" is the best. Very Philly/Spinners sound. I loves it!!!!! "Where Is The Love" is my fave; it gives me those "I remember hearing this back then" feelings. :D

Zeca,

If it's not too much trouble. I'd love to have the Modulations LP. pm me, baby.
