NOTES ON THIS VINYL RECORD:

Bionic Boogie was a Gregg Diamond production. This is Bionic Boogie's first album, which was released on Polydor Records in 1977 and one of Gregg Diamond's best albums.

I can play this Bionic Boogie album in its entirety several times in a row and not get tired of it. It is that good! It is a shame they don't make them like this anymore. The orchestration, the lyrics... every song is a keeper and it goes without saying that this Gregg Diamond / Bionic Boogie album is a must for any Disco record collector.

Is there a problem with this Bionic Boogie release? Yes, unfortunately the US pressings of this album have a mastering flaw that results in a narrow stereo image. This was brought to my attention by DiscoMusic.com member, Graham Start and we both came to an agreement that the stereo imaging was not correct. I later purchased a UK pressing and this one got it right. So in short it is recommended that you buy a UK pressing as it is sonically superior to the US pressing. This flaw is not documented anywhere else and appears to affect all US copies.

A year later Gregg Diamond and Bionic Boogie released another great album titled "Hot Butterfly." There were a few duds in Diamond's career (George McCrae - "Diamond Touch"), but for the most part he is one of the legendary Disco producers. Diamond unfortunately passed away in 1992. Thank you for the wonderful music Gregg.
