WHAT JAMES HAMILTON HAD TO SAY ABOUT THIS RELEASE:
DISCO MELODY: ‘Get Up And Boogie 1980’ (US K.Y. Records).
A totally different kettle of fish from the brilliant ‘Bits & Pieces III’, this red vinyl 12in “disco mixer” is horrendously messy and uninspired with badly planned mixes swamping each other in rapid succession to create a dull blur of sound. ‘At The Copa’ comes out of the 111bpm intro and it ends at a zingy 140bpm.
