Don't Be a Drag, Participate: Rhino U.K. Represses CHIC Hits on Vinyl

July 30, 2013 By Mike Duquette 1 Comment

CHIC Vinyl SinglesIf the summer didn't have enough Nile Rodgers for you, what with a hand in the summer's biggest jam and a new double-disc compilation, there's more good news on the way. Rhino's U.K. division will release a selection of CHIC sides on vinyl in a new box set at the end of the month.

The 12" Singles Collection is somewhat of a misnomer, as only one of these five records was really a 12" single (and it was a reissue at that, pairing the band's first singles "Dance, Dance, Dance (Yowsah, Yowsah, Yowsah)" and "Everybody Dance" onto one piece of wax). But all of these songs were indeed released as singles, including immortal hits "Le Freak," "I Want Your Love," "Good Times," "My Forbidden Lover" and "My Feet Keep Dancing."

This box even includes two relatively lesser known tracks, in "Hangin'," from the group's 1982 album Tongue in CHIC and "CHIC Mystique" from Rodgers and Bernard Edwards' reunion album CHIC-ism (1992). So it's sort of its own outsize vinyl greatest hits. Packed in retro-style packaging, with labels and dust jackets that recall the disco era (if not the original Atlantic labels note for note), The 12" Singles Collection is poised to be a high-end collectible for fans of CHIC and disco music in general.

It's available in the U.K. August 26 and a week later in America. Hit the jump to check out the specs!

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.

    I don't know about the US, but here in Merrie England quite a few of these singles were issued in 12" format including, get this kids!, "Good Times" pressed in clear vinyl housed in a clear plastic sleeve with a 12"x12" Chic photo insert. Oh yes!!!
