WHAT THE D.J. NEWS INSERT HAD TO SAY ABOUT THE MEGAMIX ON THIS RELEASE:
Our summer rerun this issue is a treasured classic prepared by Boston DJ Danae Jacovidis in the Disconet studios during 1980 entitled the "At Midnight Medley." Danae used the rhythmn tracks of the T-Connection's "At Midnight" slowed down some 20% to act as a backdrop for several classic early to mid-1970s dance songs. Yvonne Fair begins the set with "It Should Have Been Me" (1975), followed by The Spinners with "It's A Shame" (1973) both courtesy of Motown. Lamont Dozier's "Take Off Your Makeup" (1973,courtesy of ABC) and Bionic Boogie's "Dance Little Dreamer" (1977 from Polydor) are next. Timmy Thomas' "Why Can't We Live Together" (1972) and George McCrae's "Rock Your Baby" (1974) are next, courtesy of TK. Love Unlimited really brings back the memories with "Under The Influence Of Love" (1973) from Twentieth Century, followed by Buddy Miles' "Pull Yourself Together" (1974) courtesy of CBS. And there's some extra rhythmn tracks at the end of the set from the T-Connection's "At Midnight" (their 1978 TK smash) in case you want to try overlaying one of your own classics with some very hip rhythmn tracks.
