Mutiny – Lump (US 12″ Promo)

BURNING THE GROUND EXCLUSIVE 1980

DISCO FRIDAY!

“Lump” is the debut single by former Parliament-Funkadelic drummer Jerome Brailey and his band Mutiny. The single was released by Columbia Records in 1979. The single was released a year after Brailey left P-Funk due to a financial dispute. The track was included on the 1980 soundtrack of the psychological thriller “Crusing” directed by William Friedkin and starring Al Pacino. The film is loosely based on the novel of the same name, by New York Times reporter Gerald Walker, about a serial killer targeting gay men, in particular those associated with the S&M scene.

“Lump” is also included on Mutiny’s debut album Mutiny On The Manship.

Normally this 12″ promo containded the same track on both sides but I created a special version containing dialogue from the film for the intro of the b-side.

BURNING THE GROUND EXCLUSIVE 1982

DISCO FRIDAY!

“Love Pains” is a dance song written by Michael Price, Dan Walsh and Steve Barri and originally recorded by Yvonne Elliman in 1979.

“Love Pains” was a hit for Elliman in 1979, reaching #34 on Billboard’s Hot 100 chart as well as #75 on Hot Dance Club Play, and #33 on the Adult Contemporary chart. “Love Pains” would be Elliman’s final chart single, Elliman’s extended hiatus from the music business commencing soon after the release of the track’s parent album Yvonne which was the last release of newly recorded music by Elliman until her 2004 EP Simple Needs.

In 1982, Moby Dick Records were in the process of re-releasing remixes of previous hits for their Gold Standard label when Rob Kimbel presented them with a remix of “Love Pains.” The remix was released as a single and sales for the Moby Dick 12″ single surpassed sales of the original record.

In the US an edit of this mix was used for the 7″ single and has never appeared on CD. In 2010 Japan included the “Disco Mix” as a bonus track on the SHM release of the “Totally Hot” album, however the mix used was taken from vinyl and as occurs with many remastered CD’s clips severely (see clipping).

The titles on the label are written in Spainsh and English.
