The kind
of record that makes us mighty proud to live in the Windy City – and a long-overdue look at the wealth
of rare club, disco, and soul cuts bubbling in the Chicago underground at the end
of the 70s! During the early part
of the decade, the city was widely known for some super-huge soul acts – and in the 80s, house would raise Chicago to international fame – but in the space between, the city kept on putting out some really wonderful music – wicked little cuts issued on small indie labels, most
of which never got any circulation out
side the midwest! The Mr Peabody crate-digging team's collected together the best
of the best from these overlooked years – and also threw in a few
of their own edits too – furthering the dancefloor potential
of some
of the best rare nuggets. 2LP version features 8 cuts – including "Never Gonna Fall In Love Again" by Carmen Amez – plus seven Mr Peabody edits – versions
of "Too Far Gone" by LaJohn & Sheela, "The Challenge" by Billy Hinton, "The Composer" by Fantasie, "Running To A Disco" by Lonnie Givens, "Bass Come Back" by The Moore Brothers, "Disco Ball" by
Brighter Side Of Darkness, and "Your Love Is In The Pocket" by Premonition.
