Christmas Disco Revenge
You folks are so, so lucky. You don't know how close you came to getting this as the next track on 26 Days Of Christmas. But I got the thinking about it, imagining that you might actually want to listen to that collection once in a while, and this just wouldn't fit in at all. I mean, it's filled with happy Christmas songs from days gone by, and then I drop in a 5 minute thumping disco track. Yeah, that would go over like a lead balloon. So I decided to just throw this one up all by itself. It's not too bad, really, for disco. I guess because it's early disco, not the later stuff. Go grab a copy of Moonlion-The Little Drummer Boy-Disco Version (Pickwick International Productions 7" 45 RPM PDJ-6513, 1975). Now go shake your groove thang.
I noticed it's arranged by Irving Spice...could he be the father or uncle of the Spice Girls? ; )

I may have mentioned this before at this blog or another, but my mom worked at the Pickwick Records pressing plant in Hauppauge, Long Island, NY back in the 70's/80's. I worked there one summer for about 2 weeks. One of the worst jobs I ever had! PVC (the vinyl) smells real bad in a pressing plant.
ReplyDeleteShe used to bring home a lot of this stuff and even then I had no idea who the intended market was!
Anyway, the label says "Ultrasonic Productions", my guess it was recored at Ultrasonic Studios in Hempstead, NY, just a few blocks from the Long Island Rail Road station downtown.
It's not there anymore, but some of you might recall a guy named Billy Joel who recorded an album called Turnstiles there. Also, WLIR-FM did a few live radio concerts there, including a great one by Big Star.
Been a long time, but I figured I'd put up a new link for you.
