Originally released on a tiny, self-funded imprint in 1978 as a promo only in a plain sleeve, this was then issued in Belgium under the name Reverie – ‘Get Up And Dance’ and Japan, and has remained almost impossible to find on original ever since. Slick sounding, well produced NY disco from brothers John & Rocco Giamundo, this five track offering is a glimpse into the late 70s disco scene and includes the club / rare-groove classic “It’s True” (compiled on “Under The Influence Vol. 2 by Paul Phillips) and “Get It On And Dance” as well as the P&P...

Throughout their career, Sharon Jones and the Dap-Kings remained in high demand both publicly and privately to recreate and often re-imagine songs by other artists. More often than not, these covers were recorded by request – commissioned for placement in movies, television programs, tribute albums, or for samples. This album compiles some of their most popular as well as never-before-heard renditions. Though the band has mostly built their career on a prolific catalog of originals, these forays into other artists’ compositions lay bare their gift for arrangement and the unmatched studio prowess that earned them their reputation as The Baddest...
