"Disco Kicks" is still great fun, but as years stretch on, the less popular "A" side of this record impresses me more.
It's a good remake of Little Sister's gimme-no-lip 1970 soul workout.
Not as funky or soulful, but more energetic and even sexier with its pointed enunciation of lyrics. Really worth a spin.
