Finally!!! I got to see the track listing of this LP with "Dreaming A Dream" ... I've never seen this LP when I go record hunting, I guess it's getting a little rare.

I have this LP, however, it is called "FOXY LADY".. Is this a repress?

I met the bass player of the Crown Heights Affair and learned the story of this big band and the way I'm playing guitar right now. He is a nice guy. A good friend with good spirit like his music.

Both versions of "Dreaming a Dream" on this LP are KILLERS. Get this Lp, or its twin "Foxy Lady"; it'll be worth every penny...

Look at all those great DISCO CLASSICS! How can you not own this record if you are serious about your music? A must own, it gets a TEN on my scale from 1-10.

I bought this LP, when it was new from Korvettes in North Brunswick, NJ, because I liked the title track so much.
The one thing that I remember is that it was the thinnest, flimsiest piece of vinyl that I ever owned. If you held the opposite edges, it would sag about 2" in the center. All of my other records were much thicker/sturdier. I wonder if this had any effect of the durability or sound quality.
Anyway, I really like the title track at the time and I still like it 30+ years later. I used to listen to NYC's "Disco 102" WPIX-FM, which became WQCD at 101.9FM and is now WRXP.
