_________________________________________

Razor and tape remixes/edits of various disco/club classics, and two outright bootlegs of the originals (A3 & B3). No artist is explicitly listed on the record and the mixes do not sound similar to any popular underground edits done around the time, by artists such as Shep Pettibone, Francois Kevorkian, Danny Krivit, etc.

A1 is a very comprehensive remix with various effects and razor edits.
A2 is essentially an extended edit, pitched up to moderate tempo, with no effects or overdubs.
B1 is similar to A1 in it's use of overdubs and razor edits.
B2 extends the intro by quite a bit and is more of a re-edit than a remix.

The overall quality of the recordings range from mediocre to very bad. This was a very cheap production. A2 sounds like it was mastered incorrectly and tends to pop frequencies and skip (even on a very clean copy). A3 is simply a very muffled, bad repress of the regular acappella. A1, B1 and B2 are all low fidelity in general, but are definitely playable.

Track lengths are taken from digital timestamp on recordings.

There is no date written, but this record was likely released in 1982/83 as the latest songs on this record would be from D-Train and The System.
