I wish  –  Giorge Pettus (Written by Angela Wimbush & produced by Ron Isley  –  from his album ‘This is your night’ … Giorge was supposed to be one of the clutch of Soul singers that would pull back Black Music from the jaws of Hip Hop)

Making love will keep you fit  –  Brenda Harris (One of those little independent Disco singles that was lost probably due to bad distribution … to the Disco collectors & Djs finding this type rare is like finding a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow)

Stimulation  –  The Strangers (A Boogie monster – put together by Edward Moore & Howard King with added input by D-Train supremo & Boogie maestro Hubert Eaves …one of the last few album releases by Salsoul Records before the shut their doors apart from re-releases and remixes)

Isn’t she lovely  –  Studio Apartment featuring Kenny Bobien (Kenny tackles Stevie Wonder’s masterpiece – an Japanese/American production … the original trak was never released as a single from his album ‘Songs in the key of life’)

I can only think of you  –  Gwen McCrae (Cat Records were a small part of TK Disco – a record company which sadly went out of business shortly after they dropped her ‘Melody of Life’ lp … a few record collectors and djs picked it up during their ‘crate-digging’ journeys and she was proclaimed ‘Queen of Rare Groove’)
