Thanks for asking about the Disco Hustle album – I’ve been meaning to follow up and report that even though I sorta mocked it in the write-up, this is a SWEET album. A nice mix of known and unknown disco hits, and the whole thing is beat-matched, so it’s got a great flow.

Thanks for the comments…

is that four tops records good? i have never heard it but im PRAYING there is something playing on it. the idea of it is awesome.

fucking killer fats waller score, for the cover alone.

how was that disco fever record. looks like it sucked, but had the potential for a gem. any luck?

that white lines score was key. but you know what REALLY gets em open? the Liquid Liquid original, “Cavern.” i played last saturday and just when the crowd started to die [i sorta lost em for a second, going on a weird dancehall covers of old cheesy soul tunes tangent] i played Cavern and it seemed everyone had fallen in love again. it was awesome.

is there any other song on that pac man record aside from that pac man fever song? if so, are any of them any good?

sigh. im pathetic, im lazily shopping for records through you.

But since I’ve been digging into The Faces, those albums would seem to be overdue for re-evaluation. Thanks for the reminder…

the fact is, stewart released a string of terrific solo albums early on in his career: the RS album, Gasoline Alley, Every Picture etc. and Never a Dull Moment.

sure, I totally hate his transplanted LA-based guts right now, but his first few albums are classic. (Not forgetting early Faces as well.)
