Frederick Knight - Let Me Ring Your Bell Again


I can't believe I have only recently come across this rather magical moment. One Mr Knight both wrote and produced Anita Ward's 1979 disco megahit 'Ring My Bell', so what could be a better idea a couple of years later than to cut a response record under his own name in exactly the same style, syndrums and all? How could it possibly fail?

Sister Sledge - We Are Family (1984 Remix)


So we're BACK! Here, freshly ripped on the all-new groove machine, is the 1984 Bernard Edwards remix of 'We Are Family' for your disco delight! After the success of the reissued 'Thinking Of You' in the UK, the follow-ups were a remix of 'Lost In Music' by Nile Rodgers and then this slightly more obscure remix of 'We Are Family' which got a bit lost in the Christmas rush. Wisely Bernard doesn't tamper with the original too much here! I think we may not be going to have as much disco as we used to on the blog (BOO!) because firstly the record companies have reissued so much stuff on CD recently and more importantly because people like the gang at #1 Disco Connection do it much better than I ever could and have a vastly better knowledge and range of material that I could ever hope to have!

I got all my SISTERS with ME!
