Back to regular programming after lots of Aussie digging for Vitamine!
Up on the YT now is underground Brooklyn disco from the late 80s.
Barbara Joyce was an American soul singer, most notable for being a founding member of B.T. Express.
Fantasy slipped through the cracks on small label LuLu Records and somehow ended up in a bargain bin in Northcote.
One of the songwriters, Glenn Dorsey, released another version later with his group the Twiliters, with another vocalist. To me it doesn't have the same charm as this original version.
Loved hearing this one as soon as I picked it up.
Full-frontal charging guitar riffs give way to really beautiful pads and percussion. Vocal treatment and lyrics sound great too.
Somehow this one survived many of the cringe disco tropes!
Get one while they're still around.
Check out the record on Discogs here.
Also if people are in Melbourne Saturday afternoon I'm playing at Raffy's End of Year Weekender from 3pm-5pm - Come thru!
