LA SHE BA “You’ve Been Hunchin’” (1979, Heavenly Star)

I took my time, but, finally, here is some stuff produced by my idols, Peter Brown & Patrick Adams. We now know pretty well their outputs on the bunch of micro labels they operated in New York (P&P, Queen Constance, Golden Flamingo, Land of Hits, Hit Makers of America…), thanks to some great compilations by the Suss'd label. I choose the extended version of the track credited to Catherine Miller on “Deep Disco Culture, vol. 1”. Of course, it's a bit long (10') and the edit is quite rough, but the hypnotic and sparse groove absolutely drives me crazy. At night, I dream to be reborn in the 50s, in NYC, to experience firsthand the whole disco explosion, dancing in one of the few discerning clubs that played this underground gem.
