Five Disco Classics Coming from Big Break in April (UPDATED 3/16)

March 16, 2011 By Mike Duquette Leave a Comment

Big Break Records continues its busy schedule with five new disco and dance titles from the '70s and '80s coming to CD on April 25.

The records in question are Open Sesame by Kool & The Gang (which spawned several danceable hits in the title track - heard in Saturday Night Fever - and "Super Band"); Pennye Ford's Pennye and Yarbrough & Peoples' Be a Winner, both cut for the Total Experience label in the mid-'80s; and the sole albums by Loose Change and TJM, both of which were produced (and in the latter case, the only album performed) by legendary disco king Tom Moulton (pictured at left).

All the sets are augmented with non-LP tracks and single edits or remixes (although some of the discographical details have been incredibly difficult to nail down - let us know what we might be missing UPDATE: No wonder they were so hard to find! We had the wrong bonus tracks for some. Thanks to everyone who set us straight!) (Corrected) Track lists and pre-order links are after the jump!

Mike Duquette (Founder) was fascinated with catalog music ever since he was a teenager. A 2009 graduate of Seton Hall University with a B.A. in journalism, Mike paired his profession with his passion through The Second Disc, one of the first sites to focus on all reissue labels great and small. His passion for reissues turned into a career, holding positions at Legacy Recordings and Rhino Records and contributing to Allmusic, Discogs, City Pages, Ultimate Classic Rock and Mondo Records, for whom he penned liner notes for his favorite piece of music: John Williams' Oscar-winning score to 'E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial.' Born and raised in New Jersey, Mike lives in Astoria, Queens with his wife, a cat named Ravioli, twin daughters and a large yet tasteful collection of music.

    Heads up: The Kool & The Gang bonus tracks listed above are actually Ashford & Simpson bonus tracks.

    The bonus tracks are actually:
    09. OPEN SESAME (12" Disco Version) *BONUS TRACKS
    10. SUPER BAD (Single Version) *BONUS TRACKS
    11. OPEN SESAME (Part 2) *BONUS TRACKS

    The Loose Change and the TJM were released in Japan in the 90's with the exact same bonus tracks and mastered by TM. We dont really know if the UK CDs will be remastered by TM as the Japan CDs were.

    Great. Another set of classic albums butchered by BBR with horrible remastering.
