Opening track.... - Sigh.... YES. Male vocals, uplifting piano strut. 3:40 mark - Yep. Female vocals, happy afternoon synth. Luv the funk guitar. 8:00 - HA Cheeky!!!!!!! Kool & The Gang, "Steppin' Out 1981." James "J.T." Taylor's high-pitched vocals and horn accompaniment grabs you. 13:25 - My first time hearing this version. Central Funk, "Love Train." 16:50 - Nice instrumental here. 18:00 - HA!!!!!!! Female vocals, deffo a disco floor-filler \\0// \\0// !!!!!!!!! Wait for the horn solo. 22:40 - Yeah Man!!!!!! Male and female chorus, "All Day, All Night," CATCHY groove with the bass guitar and horns. Luther Vandross on the backing vocals ensemble. 27:40 - CAMPY male vocals, P-Funk vibez. 31:25 - hahahaha. Male and female vocals. I like how this was produced, just taking snippets of popular disco riffs from the era. Proper medley. This could be used as ending credits for films today. 38:25 - SMILES. Female vocals, joy buzz feels. Definitive 1983 synth melody. Hearing a track like this made the weekends back then. 44:40 - GEEEEEZ MAN, Crate diggin'. Cerrone, "Supernature 1978." Giorgio Moroder's "Chase 1978" production elements were all over this. https://i.imgur.com/ZqFrg5m.jpg - 50:10 - Yes, YES. Female vocals, "Your love is a life saver," head noddin' rhythm guitar. It's funny hearing the orchestral strings from Rod Stewart's, "Da Ya Think I'm Sexy 1978" in this. 58:30 - Coda.... Female vocals, rattle cowbell.


- Just some old skool funk and disco ere Headz. This is an easy listen. The danceable sounds of funk guitar and horn bits take you back. It's cheeky fun. These aren't tracks vets would know from the radio hits. They're B-Side tracks that hit you like, "omg....it's been ages." You'll get a smile. Just a retro break from all this.... (1 hr)

- The tracklist is in the set link.
