Kat Mandu

The Break (12")

RECORD LABEL / RELEASE INFO:

TK Records (US) 1979 / TKD 155
12" Disco Single 33 1/3 rpm vinyl record

STUDIO CREDITS:

Producer: Joe La Greca and Joe Marandola

Arranged by: Denis LePage

Mixer/Remixer: Steve Thompson and Michael Barbiero

TRACKLISTING:

Side A
The Break (8:44)

Side B
There's Only Been A Few (7:37)

NOTES:

"The Break" by Katmandu (Kat Mandu) is a cornerstone of any Disco playlist and perhaps one of the most popular Disco instrumental of the Disco era. "The Break' is an instrumental track similar to Erotic Drum Band's "Plug Me To Death."

While the version on this TK Records 12 inch is the most popular and easiest to find, there was various remixes on Unidisc Records which included parts of the break playing backwards.

Later Katmandu releases (I Wanna Dance) were released on Emergency Record's Brass subsidiary without Joe La Greca.

YOUR REVIEWS & COMMENTS ON Kat Mandu

What can i say. Outstanding
instrumental. Right up there with
cocomotion. When you needed a long
song to show your stuff on the dance floor with, this was it. I remember
it was so popular that for nearly an entire decade all the football re-cap
shows would use it while featuring
video of the best plays of the week.
We used to use it at backround music
for our club's wet tee shirt contest!
