CJ and Company was a neighborhood success story in my town of Detroit, Michigan. When I was sixteen, Charles Clark gave me my first proffessional gig as a Conga Player for CJ and Company; we did 1 gig at a VFW Hall then we were slated to open for the P-Funk and I didn't get a call for that gig, but I DID get the gig with P-Funk directly after. THANK YOU CHARLES CLARK!!! Thank You WESTBOUND!!!

Both of these songs were the absolute bomb baby.. I was about 13 yrs old and "clubbing" for me at that age was the jam in the park, these 2 songs were definitely featured tunes.

Listen, DEVILS GUN had such a fantastic introduction. It was perfect to long blend mix. Set them up, and let them play. It had such energy, such fantastic rhythm that it was a DISCO CLASSIC even before I was through playing it. Fantastic record for re-mixing, excellent Dance song! WE GOT OUR OWN THING was also an excellent DISCO CLASSIC. I used to play both these songs back-to-back, with some other song as a buffer. I loved this album. An easy TEN on my scale from 1-10.

You nailed it, vyniljunkie . Thanks for bringing back some memories, too.
I'd always let the intro creep in realllly slow, sliding the pots up to just let it be heard,then back it out. When it took over the mix the bass would rattle the glasses on the tables. We would sometimes just let in a little of the bass line for a false start. Lot's of fun to spin.
And how about the solid jam at 4:22?

I have an alternate version of devils gun as heard on the 3 hour interview of Tom Moulton on the show of Monica on a NY radio station, that reminds me that I am still after the 19 minute Tom Moulton remix of the Trammps - disco inferno
anyone can tell whether that has been released on Atlantic?
