Description
Fantastic reissue of two highly sought after early 80s disco boogie monsters from US soul singer Joe Coleman. Released here as a double A-side with the original Italian F1 Team label artwork, both of these 1982 cuts are pure dancefloor dynamite and change hands for silly money on the internet. ‘Test Drive’ is produced by US guitar maestro David Williams and features his signature uber-funky strumming style which combines with Joe Coleman’s smooth lyrics to create a truly infectious bubbling disco classic. On side B we have the dazzling funk-boogie stomper ‘Get It Off The Ground’, a grindingly groovy cut topped off perfectly once again with Mr Coleman’s strong and sexy vocals. Essential purchase and a bargain buy to get these two amazing tracks for the price of one 12′.
Another tape extracted from the Sony vault for the first time since the records was released in 1980. A Floaty disco masterpiece that has been on the soul scene for time but deserves a broader appreciation. We present this in the much rarer issue format with the excellent ballad on the flip “Blame it on me”, most o.g copies are missing this track. How the band never made it past one single I don’t know as both tracks are fire.
Tracklist:
A – Test Drive (5:14)
B – Get It Off The Ground
