Various Artists - Can You Feel It? Vol.5: Modern Soul Disco & Boogie 1977-88 [2LP+7"]

** INITIAL 400 LPs CONTAIN A BONUS 7" OF A VERY RARE DISCO 45! ** After nearly three years *Can You Feel It Vol. 5* marks the release of a brand-new installment in Tramp Records’ Disco/Boogie series. Like all four previous volumes Vol. 5 offers a colorful mix of songs from the late 1970s and early 1980s. From extremely rare tracks to easily accessible ones and even unreleased material—this release has everything to make a collector’s heart race. Once again these songs will get you on your feet inspire you to dance and transport you back to the glittering world of the late 1970s. CAN YOU FEEL IT? Let's take a closer look at a few of the songs on this album. Kicking things off are Bill Deal & The Rhondels a band that needs no introduction. The same cannot be said for Tom Balistreri and Ryjel. The latter presents “Heart’s On Fire” a seven-minute journey into previously unreleased deep disco. "Old Mother Winter" may not be a typical disco song but it’s undoubtedly a fantastic composition. The Stone Mill Band is relatively unknown even among hardcore collectors. The most recent track on this album is by singer Tory Wynter who already contributed a song for Can You Feel It Vol.4. “Oh Let The Rain Fall Down” was released in 1988. The second record opens with “Been Thinkin' About You” by Avatar—an amazing song and probably the rarest gem on this album in stark contrast to Piz-Zazz - a record you can find easily for a few dollars. Saxophonist King Perkoff was born in Santa Monica California but now resides in Berlin and with “When You Live In Marin” he delivers a real disco-funk banger! Glenn “Shake & Bake” Doughty played professional football as a wide receiver for the Baltimore Colts from 1972 to 1979. Together with some of his teammates he founded the Shake & Bake Band in 1975. We probably aren’t telling Tramp fans anything new here. Anyway a little over two years ago we reissued the first of their two extremely hard to find 45-RPM singles (“Shake & Bake Pt. 1 & 2”). We also included a DJ-friendly edit of the song on “Movements Vol. 12.” It is a must for us here at Tramp that we also reissue their second single “Starflight Disco Pt. 1 & 2” soon! So there you have it 13 obscure but brilliant MODERN SOUL DISCO and BOOGIE tunes of which all have not been compiled anywhere else. We sincerely hope you enjoy our guided tour back into the late 1970s and 80s Disco era.
