Can you re-up this rip? Thanks
Thank you, this was always one of my favorite disco-tunes.
Sending you belated thanks for this one, Paul. I wish the long version had been included on the Casablanca Records Story box set. Up until now, I assumed the single version was all that existed. (But I should have known better given the record label.)
I forgot to mention that I love the cover, which was apparently copied to promote the movie Born On The Fourth Of July.
I bought the 12″ blue disc release back in 1978 here in the UK. Love this track, very atmospheric..
Thanks as always Paul, for the rip! 🙂
You’re welcome Ex15 🙂

Happy Birthday America!!
Thank you Brian 🙂
YES! So awesome. Can’t wait to hear your work on this!
Enjoy! Conner 🙂
An appropriate choice for today.
Great tune, verrry disco: perfect for Disco Friday! Recorded at the Sigma Sound Studios in New York, the auxiliary branch of MFSB’s home in Philadelphia.
I reckon you also have the rare extended version of ‘Got A Feeling’ in your archives too. The ‘Got A Feeling’ album version has been chopped rather ugly back to 3:30 minutes. The extended version should have been the regular album version.
Thank you Stefano I will check on the other one 🙂
