Sarr Band: Double Action [1978]

Last week I was watching an eBay auction on a 45 of this song as performed by The Fantastic Soul Invention. The going got rough and I didn't end up bidding, but in hindsight I felt I had made a disastrous mistake. I went so far as to try to email the winning bidder for an mp3, to no avail. Then, out of nowhere, Jaws posts this ruling version of the same song as performed by the Sarr Band! I won't be able to sleep well at night until I track down that FSI version, but having this one helps a lot.

Emmett, this is great. I downloaded earlier, and only just now listened to it for the first time. On this drizzly, grey Sunday afternoon it sounds seriously like a contender for the best disco record ever - to these jaded ears, anyway, or at least until I possibly get the chance to check out "Magic Mandrake" (the title alone sounds very promising).

Thanks.

Hey ib, glad you liked it. It's a real smoker, right? I have to find this other version... it sounded nearly identical but it had more cool percussion sound effects. Thanks for the b-day wishes, by the way. FYI, I was able to find "Magic Mandrake" somewhere else on the internet...
