Party On Plastic
Reality - Disco Party [PLP-7771 JPN 2021 24-Bit FLAC]
As it's Friday night, it's time for a socially distanced party on plastic! Bring your own, anybody?
Japanese label P-Vine Records have dug up this absolute gem of a record as part of their ongoing Groove-Diggers series, although I have my suspicions that the original master tapes were unavailable. Reality released this instrumental album of seventies disco-funk back in 1976 on the TSG Records label and original copies have been impossible to find ever since. Expect an aural assault of tight & hard funky basslines, wah-wah guitars, percussion and horns .....more than enough to entertain, even on the dullest of January weekends.

ReplyDeleteRare groove indeed! Thanks so much
ReplyDeleteDisco. Disco. Thank you. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteThe cover image was also used for The Buggs – Boots A Go-Go a decade earlier (featuring Gary Wright, later a member of Spooky Tooth).
ReplyDeleteWonder if the fashion would've been seen as visually outdated/unappealing at the time (probably ideal for a tax scam record) or if it was a simple "eh, good enough" stock image slap-together job.
I was interested because I thought the model looked like an Asian gal, which struck me as an unusual choice for a US originated record in '76, but I now think that's just a trick of the angle and lighting. D'oh!
Anyways, thanks for the music!
I appreciate the introduction to this. Very groovy. Thanks for sharing!
